💸 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.

不太确定我是否会投资。也许会采取观望的态度...[Thinking][Thinking][Thinking]
巴菲特会接触这项投资吗？
OnlyFans是科技界最被低估的平台业务吗？
更多平台是否应该抛弃算法，将权力还给用户？
类似的模式会扰乱教育、健身或金融吗？

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.
