Some of them, anyways.
From a very quick online check to be done more deeply in future:
Chesscom is presently owned by PokerStars which appears to be a corporation based in the Isle of Man. PokerStars was acquired by Paddy Power Betfair, a Dublin, Ireland based sports betting and gaming operator.
Chesscom is funded by General Atlantic, NYC investment firm and Flashpoint, a London ,UK based investment firm.
Flashpoint's two General partners are Alex Konoplyasty and Michael Szalontay.
In January, 2022, Chesscom raised an undisclosed amount of financing through private equity firm General Atlantic based in New York, NY.
General Atlantic: Anton Levy is co-President and managing director; Tanzeen M. Syed is a managing director.

Layer upon layer of equity investors. I can't help but wonder how they view the mess that Danny Rensch and Magnus Carlsen have created and can't seem to stop fomenting.
