OnlyFans Looks to Sell Majority Stake for $5.5 Billion

In a move that could cement its status as one of the most lucrative subscription-based platforms online, OnlyFans is reportedly on the verge of selling a significant stake in the company. The San Francisco-based investment firm Architect Capital has been in talks with OnlyFans over a potential deal worth $3.5 billion in equity and $2 billion in debt.

The proposed transaction would value OnlyFans at approximately $5.5 billion, marking a substantial drop from the $8 billion valuation the platform achieved during its previous sale negotiations last year. Back then, the company's owner, Leonid Radvinsky, was in discussions with Forest Road Company over a potential deal that never materialized.

Despite this hiccup, OnlyFans has continued to experience significant growth, including a notable nine percent increase in gross revenue for its 2024 fiscal year, which brought in more than $7.2 billion. The company's commitment to expanding its offerings beyond adult content has helped it build a diverse user base and attract new investors.

The talks between Architect Capital and OnlyFans are currently shrouded in exclusivity, meaning the platform's owner is not free to negotiate with other potential buyers for an indeterminate period. With no clear timeline set for the deal's closure, only time will tell whether this latest negotiation leads to a successful sale or another chapter in OnlyFans' ongoing saga of growth and expansion.
 
omg did u know that i just tried the new matcha latte from starbucks downtown? it was SOOO good 🍵👌 like, they added this special type of sugar that's not even available at other locations... anyway, back to OnlyFans... i mean, $5.5 billion is crazy but i guess if u wanna get in on the adult content industry, u gotta be willing to take some risks 💸🤔
 
OnlyFans is like the ultimate adulting platform 🤑. They're raking it in from those subscription fees, but honestly, I'm curious about their plans to expand beyond adult content. Will they stick to what made them successful or take a chance on something new? It's crazy how much growth they've seen already - 9% increase in gross revenue is no joke 💸!
 
I THINK ONLYFANS IS GOING TO BE HUGE!!! THEY'RE ALREADY DOING WELL WITH $7.2 BILLION IN GROSS REVENUE LAST YEAR AND NOW THEY'RE LOOKING TO SELL A MAJORITY STAKE FOR $5.5 BILLION! THAT'S CRAZY MONEY 🤑📈 I'VE SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE MAKE MONEY ON THE PLATFORM, BUT I'M NOT SURPRISED THEY'RE ATTRACTING NEW INVESTORS AND EXPANDING THEIR OFFERINGS BEYOND ADULT CONTENT. IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING TO SEE WHO END UP BUYING THEM AND WHAT CHANGES WILL THEY BRING 💸👀
 
Just think about it - $5.5 billion is gonna change lives for those creators on OnlyFans 🤑💸! It's crazy to see how far the platform has come, especially with that 9% growth last year 📈. And yeah, maybe they did have some setbacks in the past, but who doesn't learn from their mistakes? They've clearly got a solid plan and are moving forward 💪. Plus, it's not like they're just selling out to anyone - Architect Capital sounds legit 🤝. Now, let's keep our fingers crossed for this deal to go through and see what amazing things OnlyFans can achieve next! 🌟
 
🤔 I gotta say, it's kinda wild that OnlyFans is looking to sell off such a big chunk of its company 🤑. Like, they've already seen some crazy growth and are now just trying to cash out? It feels like they're making the most of their success 💸. But on another note, have you thought about all the potential implications this has for creators on the platform? I mean, if a new owner comes in, it could be a whole different ball game for them 🤷‍♀️. We need to keep an eye on that, imo 👀.
 
omg this is crazy!! $5.5 billion is insane 💸🤯 i mean i get why they wanna sell - the subscription model has been killing it for them but at the same time, you'd think they'd want to hold onto that power and control 💪 whatever happens next tho, can't wait to see where this takes them 🎉
 
Ugh, $5.5 billion is still way too much 💸 I mean, think about it, they're not even getting rid of the 'adult content' aspect, which is where the controversy lies 🤔. It's all about diversifying their offerings, but let's be real, that's just a fancy way of saying they need more cash to deal with the fallout from being associated with explicit material 😬. And $3.5 billion in equity and $2 billion in debt? That's just crazy talk 💸. I bet Architect Capital is getting taken for a ride 🚀. OnlyFans needs to focus on making their platform more user-friendly, not just pumping money into it 💥.
 
Ugh, $5.5 billion is crazy 💸 I mean, I know adult content has its niche market, but come on... it feels like the world's gone mad trying to make a buck off people's private moments 🤯. And it's not just about the money – it's about the whole 'selling out' vibe that comes with it 😒. Like, what happened to the DIY ethos and sharing your passions with others? It seems like everyone's more interested in cashing in than connecting with their audience ❤️.
 
🤔 I'm surprised they're selling off so much equity, I mean it's crazy how much cash OnlyFans has made from all that adult content... I guess it just goes to show how lucrative the online subscription market can be? 🤑 But for me, it raises questions about ownership and control - are we talking about a new era of big corporation takeover or is this still gonna be all about creators profiting off their own work? 💸
 
idk about this $5.5 billion sale price... i mean, yeah, they're growing fast and all that but it feels like they're undervaluing the platform a bit considering how popular it's getting 🤑. don't get me wrong, it's cool that they're expanding beyond just adult content, but I'm not sure if that's enough to justify the sale price yet... maybe they'll be able to negotiate something better? 🤔 also, what's going on with Architect Capital? are they trying to flip the platform or something? seems a bit shady 💸
 
I guess you could say OnlyFans is 'selling out'... but seriously, $5.5 billion is a pretty penny! 🤑 They must be hoping their adult content will 'pay off' for them. Just kidding, it's all about the users now, right? They're expanding beyond just NSFW stuff, so that's cool, I guess. But honestly, who wouldn't want to make $7.2 billion in a year? That's like, my rent for a whole lifetime 😂!
 
OnlyFans is getting sold 🤑💸 I think it's kinda crazy that they're looking to sell for $5.5 billion tho... like what even is the point? They're already making bank, right? 😂 Still, gotta give props to Leonid Radvinsky for sticking it out despite those last year's sale negotiations falling through 💪

I'm all about diversifying and expanding their content offerings too 🤝🌈, that's what made OnlyFans such a hit in the first place! The more diverse and inclusive they can be, the better equipped they are to attract new users and investors alike 📈
 
I'm low-key surprised they're selling off that much of their company 🤔. I mean, OnlyFans has been killing it with the adult content and has been doing some cool stuff on the side like NFTs and live streaming 📈. It's interesting to see them dip into debt for $2 billion though - that's a pretty big risk 🤑. Still, if they're getting $3.5 billion in equity, I guess it's a good thing? Anyone have any ideas who might be buying this thing? 🤔
 
I'm low-key worried about what this means for content creators on the platform 🤔. I mean, they're already dealing with so much pressure and scrutiny from both users and advertisers. Selling a majority stake to some big investment firm just sounds like another layer of complexity and potential profit squeeze to me 🤑. And let's be real, if OnlyFans is making all that cash, what about the platform itself? Is it really being used for the betterment of creators or just as a means to line someone's pockets 💸?
 
OnlyFans is selling a major stake for $5.5 billion 🤑 - that's still pretty crazy considering they went from $8 billion last year. I'm not surprised, though - the platform's focus on diversifying its content has definitely helped attract new investors. But let's be real, their growth doesn't come without controversy... and some pretty sketchy stuff too 🤔. Still, it'll be interesting to see who ends up buying them out and what changes they make to the platform.
 
so like what's going on here? 🤔 OnlyFans is basically being sold for 5.5 billion bucks?! that's crazy money... i mean, its valuation went from 8 billion last year to this now. they must be really confident in their growth plan or something.

i'm not surprised though, onlyfans has been growing like a weed and they've been expanding into more content types. it's not just about adult content anymore, which is good for the platform.

but i have to wonder who's buying all this? architect capital seems legit but there are always rumors of some shady players in these deals 🤑

anyway, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. will they be able to keep their user base and attract new investors with this deal? we'll just have to wait and see 😒
 
Ugh, $5.5 billion is kinda low if you ask me 🤑. I mean, they're still growing like crazy and their user base is expanding fast. They could've gotten way more than that last year when they were talking to Forest Road Co. 🤔 But hey, maybe Architect Capital knows something we don't. The fact that Leonid Radvinsky can't even keep a deal together is kinda worrying tho... 👀 I'm still all for OnlyFans expanding its offerings and becoming more than just an adult content platform though! That's the move 💁‍♀️
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around OnlyFans' valuation drop 🤯. I mean, they've got $7.2 billion in gross revenue for last year? That's insane! But for them to go from an 8 billion valuation to 5.5 billion is a bit steep 😔. I think it says something about the market's expectations and how much investors are willing to pay for growth. It's not like they're losing money or anything (although that debt deal does raise some concerns). What do you guys think? Are we seeing a correction or just a sign of the times? 🤷
