i thought that the wwe was a publicly traded company?so why does vince have 98% of the voting stock?

Answer 1

A company can be public and be majority held by one person. When a company goes public it decides how many stock to issue and sell. The owner can keep the majority of stock and sell the small amount he/she chooses to. In this case, Vince McMahon decided to sell only 2% of his company. Either that or more stock was initially issued and he bought it back.
