💸 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?

Still, OnlyFans is hugely underrated. It hands control to creators — no algorithms, no middlemen — and that’s a game-changer. Fans get direct access, and creators keep more of the value. It’s a powerful, overlooked model that challenges how most tech platforms operate today.
This model has potential far beyond adult content. In education, fitness, or finance, giving experts direct control and monetization could be just as disruptive. The shift toward creator-owned platforms feels inevitable — and OnlyFans is just the beginning.

虽然OnlyFans表现出了显着的增长，通过其基于订阅的模式创造了数十亿美元的收入，但OnlyFans的运营空间可能不符合沃伦·巴菲特的保守和道德担忧。
此外，沃伦·巴菲特投资策略的一个关键原则是避开高风险、不稳定的行业。OnlyFans面临潜在的监管审查、支付处理挑战和平台依赖问题。对于喜欢可预测、稳定业务的人来说，这些风险可能会降低其吸引力。
虽然OnlyFans具有不可否认的财务潜力，但其商业模式和道德问题可能会阻止沃伦·巴菲特投资。
如果我是沃伦·巴菲特，OpenFans不会与他的投资风格保持一致。

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.
