Who owns the internet?

Bill Gates mostly, but Zuchaberg and Google have good holdings

No single person or organization controls the internet in its entirety. Like the global telephone network, no one individual, company or government .

It is a decentralized network of different computers (including yours) talking to each other via a common protocol.

The internet (originally called the Darpanet) was created for the US dept of defense. It was designed to be used in a war when the enemy cut your telephone lines. 

It evolved into a weapons system that was like the Trojan horse. The world's other countries accepted it were using it and when there was a war they could receive a virus that could phu que up their computers and their telephone system.  When the war with Iraq started ( operation desert storm)  the 1st strike happened when an American computer geek made a few keystrokes and a few seconds later Iraq's radar was not able to detect our bombers. Those wacky Iraqis could not do anything about it except pray to Allah.

The Military And Government

nobody own the internet, as far as I remember the internet was originally designed by an American, but since then its got bigger and bigger, many countries are trying to control the internet in their country and block certain sites, but if you know what you are doing its easy to circumvent the block

my big toe, 

lol but in all seriousness, no one individual owns the entirety of the Internet it's owned by multiple people and organizations

I would imagine the core router holders.

Al Gore...................hahahahaha.
