JOHANNESBURG - OnlyFans is in talks to sell a stake that would value it at $3.5-billion.
San Francisco-based Architect Capital wants to become the biggest fan with 60 percent of the business.
The deal comes with a lot to swallow, including $2-billion in debt.
The early talks are at a heated stage, but may easily fizzle out.
OnlyFans has been exploring sale options since last year after pandemic-era growth.
But the platform’s reliance on explicit content has complicated financing and regulatory approval.
