Rick and Marty Lagina don’t really own the whole island. Instead of that, they managed to sign a business partnership with Dan Blankenship(one of the original private owners of the island, even before 2005), Craig Tester and Alan K. Kostrzewa under the Oak Island Tours Incorporated. It is thought that the business owns around 78% of the island.

Apart from its ownership the business also gives select tours of the island, fans and history lovers can both get to explore parts of the island even do some treasure hunting.

The rest of the island, the 22%, is owned by some other private owners, sometimes you can hear Mary, Rick and the cast of the show mention them.
