<p>hi Pece,</p>
<p></p>
<p>73% of the profits go to National Geographic Partners LLC (which is owned now by Disney). So NGP gets the money primarily, in that sense. The other 27% is given to the National Geographic Society. </p>
<p>Before the 2015 Fox buy-out of Nat Geo media enterprises, the Magazine and other assets were owned by N.G.S. (except the Channel, which always was a partnership between NGS & Fox, going back to 1997 (international) and 2001 (U.S.).</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p></p>
<p>Is that to say that 73% of the profits from a person's subscription go to Disney (and before that to Fox)? And before National Geographic was owned by either it all went to the National Geographic Society (or was there also a percentage that went elsewhere?).</p>

<p>Yes. As of March 19, 2019, Disney owns National Geographic Partners LLC (73% controlling interest). Disney Corp. bought out 21st Century Fox (e.g., Fox<span> film and TV studios, the National Geographic Channel, FX, etc).</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span>It's important to keep in mind, while Fox/Disney owns/-ed NGP, LLC, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The National Geographic Society</span> is still a wholly separate, independent, and non-profit entity devoted to research, education activities, exploration, and stewardship of our planet. 27% of the proceeds (aka "profit") NGP LLC takes in goes back to N.G.S. as part of the contractual endowment arrangement. </span></p>
