@jbwent63,
About LEGO, yes, 25% is foundation owned, but the rest 75% is owned by Kirbi A/S, the privately held investment vehicle [no foundation involvement], which then again is owned by Mr. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and his three kids [1/4 each, in a pool].
Separate website, Annual Reports available here, certainly not in any way shappy.
Kirki A/S is managed by Søren Thorup Christensen, former CFO of A.P. Moeller Maersk A/S and Danish CPA [, like me].
Mr. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen left Billund, Jutland, [the home of LEGO] years ago to to live on a mansion on a pensinsula called Hindsholm on the north-east part of Funen, where I live in the major city of Funen, called Odense, located centrally on island. He has been "giving" back large areas of land belonging to the mansion by leaving it alone instead of growing crops. He is also heavily involved in horse breeding.
Junior [Thomas] has been bulding a great and awsome golf resort named Great Northern - [from an economic perspective , simly what appears to be a black hole] - at the town of Kerteminde, about 16 kms from here to the east, south of where his father lives.
