Man, 22, becomes multi-millionaire after selling company he started in kitchen

A multi-millionaire opened up about his business which he sold for an eye-watering £52million.

Harry Gestetner is one of the creators behind Fanfix, a subscription website which has similar traits as OnlyFans.

But unlike the kinky website, Fanfix, which he created in his kitchen back in 2020, doesn't allow for any nudity.

Although people earn a fortune from sexy snaps, Harry thought there was a gap in the market for a website like his.

There are many content creators on OnlyFans who do "unsexy things" and pocket loads from it.

For example, people sell videos of them brushing their teeth or doing chores around the house.

Harry became a millionaire last year by selling his site to SuperOrdinary after he saw a "massive gap" in the market.

He told Insider the idea came around for him and co-founder Simon Pompan after seeing his cousin's viral TikTok.

The millionaire wanted to see if he could make money from views online.

And together the pair raised £1m ($1.3m) for Fanfix which they launched with the help of Vine star Cameron Dallas.

But Harry didn't see Fanfix as a competitor to OnlyFans as they are going after different audiences.

Harry also claimed the "creator economy" driven by sites like his and OnlyFans "shouldn't have existed in the first place".

He believes social media giants really missed a trick by not monetising content.

Now Fanfix has 10m registered users and 3,000 content creators.

But people aiming to earn money must boast at least 10,000 followers on social media.

Fanfix also takes a 20% commission from the earnings on their site, the same portion that OnlyFans charges.

TechCrunch claimed the average Fanfix content creator earns around £56,000 ($70,000) a year.

According to Crunchbase, the founders sold the site last year for a whopping £52m ($65m).

One of the main selling points of Fanfix is the lack of explicit content, with no sex, genitals or bare bums allowed.

But Insider found the site did have some potentially NSFW content.
