The biggest problem with this question is that you won’t ever get a definitive answer. Blackrock, for example, has obvious influence, and since Larry Fink is the head of Blackrock, you can claim that he’s in control. But, if you could look into Fink’s life, he might be controlled by Secret Society X, so you could say they are in control. But Secret Society X might be headed by John Doe, so you might think he’s the leader of the world. But what if John Doe believes he is in contact with spirits or aliens, and takes orders from them? And it could go on and on, every answer leading to 4 additional questions, some maybe too bizarre to be believed….
Also, there is no doubt the very rich and powerful often hide their assets from public eyes. Elon Musk is the richest man in the world, publicly. But what about privately? Do the Rockefellers beat him? The Rothchilds? The Payseurs? Some other family you never even heard of? It is pretty well established that John Rockefeller put a lot of his wealth into trusts and foundations, to maintain the fortune for generations. But no one really knows how many trusts and foundations that might be. Tens? Hundreds? Thousands?
I think it’s good to realize that there is more control in the world that just the well known public mechanisms. It can certainly be fun and educational to go down that road a bit. But you probably don’t want it to consume you. There are people that have spent their entire lifetimes searching, and they didn’t find out the answer.
The other thing is, don’t let it make you forget your own power. Blackrock, for example, is a powerful entity, but only because other people allow them to invest their wealth. I think if, say, 30% of retail investors pulled all their money from any sort of Blackrock fund, that would kill the whole DEI and ESG stuff, and Blackrock would suffer a huge blow as an investment company. You don’t need Blackrock or the stock market, you could invest in small companies, or real estate, or something like your own company. You might also want to start learning about things like the trusts that the Rockfellers used, as there is nothing stopping you or your family from using the same trusts yourselves. Any sort of government, including a king or a theoretical world ruler, only has power to the extent that he/she/it has the consent of the people. There’s always going to be someone who doesn’t go along, even if it’s a very tiny minority.
