💸 If You Were Warren Buffett, Would You Invest in OnlyFans?
It Crushes Mag 7 in Revenue Per Employee
OnlyFans grew its revenue 20x in 4 years to $6.6B, Unlike YouTube or TikTok, OnlyFans gives creators direct control over pricing, content, and fanbase. Will the future of monetization rely more on direct fan support and private community platforms?
It generates an eye-popping $37.6 million in revenue per employee, making it the most efficient company in the world by this metric.
That’s more than 10x $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ ($3.6 million), and leaves Big Tech giants like $Apple(AAPL)$ of $2.4M, $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ of $2.2M, $Alphabet(GOOG)$ of $1.9M, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon... all lag far behind.
This reminds me of the small team of $Berkshire Hathaway(BRK.B)$ . Warren Buffett's Omaha HQ runs a $500B empire with a team of just 25.
By Buffett's own standards, a lean, cash-printing machine like OnlyFans might actually make sense. But would the Oracle of Omaha really back a platform that revolutionized the adult content industry?
While Buffett champions efficient business models, he also stresses corporate values and public trust. Would his value-driven philosophy allow him to back a company in the adult content space — even if it’s the most profitable on a per-employee basis?
Would Buffett touch this investment?
Is OnlyFans the most underrated platform business in tech?
Should more platforms ditch algorithms and give power back to users?
Could a similar model disrupt education, fitness, or finance?

尽管如此，OnlyFans还是被大大低估了。它将控制权交给了创作者——没有算法，没有中间人——这是一个游戏规则的改变者。粉丝获得直接访问，创作者保留更多价值。这是一个强大但被忽视的模型，挑战了当今大多数技术平台的运营方式。
这种模式的潜力远远超出了成人内容。在教育、健身或金融领域，给予专家直接控制权和货币化可能同样具有破坏性。向创作者拥有的平台的转变似乎是不可避免的——而OnlyFans只是一个开始。

While OnlyFans has demonstrated remarkable growth, generating billions in revenue through its subscription based model, OnlyFans operates in a space that might not align with Warren Buffett's Conservative and Ethical Concerns.
Moreover, a key principle of Warren Buffett's investing strategy is to avoid high risk, volatile industries. OnlyFans faces potential regulatory scrutiny, payment processing challenges and platform dependency issues. These risks could make it a less attractive option for someone who favours predictable, stable businesses.
While OnlyFans presents undeniable financial potential, its business model and ethical concerns may deter Warren Buffett from investing.
If I were Warren Buffett, OpenFans would not align with his style of investing.

I don’t consider OnlyFans as being in tech. It probably does not have a specific category considering its potentially illegal business nature. Algorithms and power of the users are not mutually exclusive. Algorithms help to push similar content to users and users get to choose the content they want instead of searching blindly and widely. I think this model of direct fan support and private community platforms already work in part for areas like education and fitness as people can access content and exercise in their own space. However I don’t think this works for finance as the information is usually readily available and the products are hosted by official channels.
