Founders of platform can thank lockdown rush to use adult content for £1.7bn of sales, accounts show
The Essex family that founded the sex-worker social media platform OnlyFans extracted tens of millions of pounds from its parent company in the last year, as it profited from a lockdown-induced rush to use online pornography.
OnlyFans – run by Tim Stokely, his brother Tom and his father Guy, a former investment banker – handled £1.7bn of sales during the year to November 2020, up 615% on the previous 12 months.
