Nobody but the insiders know how few, and nobody but the insiders know who the owners are. In addition, nobody but the owners know what the company finances are, because no public disclosure is required. That’s the benefit of a Delaware L.L.C—your members, their ownership percentages and your financial valuation are private matters, of which only the company insiders are aware. There is no public registration, no public disclosure and no federal requirement of any type that necessitates the owners of a Delaware L.L.C to reveal who they are on the public record.Google chose to be a Delaware Corporation so it could go public and raise money, which they did on August 16, 2004. Once it did so, it quickly became one of the richest companies in history. Google's rise to power created tens of thousands of millionaires and a lot of billionaires. Even though 60% of Google is owned by institutions, there are millions of individual shareholders in the company. The company has current cash reserves of $50 billion.Read more: How to set up a Delaware company? Delaware llc taxation for non US residents
