Shakespeare did NOT,  'own'  the Globe.
The theatre, (called the 'Theatre', after the Latin, Theatro, I show) was torn down in 1588, during a dispute with the landowner on whose land the Theatre sat.

The entire lot was transported over London Bridge by cart, and, in 1599, the new theatre, called the Globe, was introduced to London theatregoers with a new play by the companys playwright, (William Shakespeare,)  called Julius Caesar.

Shakespeare was a 'sharer' in this new playhouse. There were several others. All took profits from each production, but all had to finance plays as they turned up.

The more successful the play, the more profits the sharers shared!
