OnlyFans CEO credits no middle managers for $7B revenue

OnlyFans CEO credits no middle managers for $7B revenue

OnlyFans, a streaming and content platform, has 42 employees who generate $7 billion in annual revenue.

The CEO, Keily Blair, says the secret to their success is not having middle managers.

They hire very experienced people and very eager young people, but skip the middle management layer.

This approach allows each employee to deliver exceptional results without needing a manager.

Big tech companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have also been cutting middle management roles to reduce hierarchy and improve efficiency.

OnlyFans' revenue per employee is the highest, beating tech giants like Apple, Meta, and Google.
