> I am not even sure of who really has control over things.

Honestly, this is the big problem with Big Non Profit (tm). The entire structure of non-profits is really meant for ladies clubs, Rotary groups, and your church down the street, not openai and ikea.

Ikea has the wildest legal structure, but yes, a lot of IKEA is technically owned by a couple of "nonprofits" which happen to pay out a lot of money to the Kamprad family.

The same way that Rolex is technically a non-profit. Complete bullshit legal wrangling.

I think the Novo Nordisk foundation is the largest now. It owns a majority of both Novo nordisk and Novozymes.
