The Miss Universe pageant is owned by a joint venture led by JKN Global Group (Thailand) and Legacy Holding Group (USA), with Raúl Rocha Cantú (Miss Universe Mexico) listed as a co-owner and strategic partner in recent arrangements. This ownership structure traces back to the 2023–2024 transition when Anne Jakrajutatip’s JKN Global Group purchased the franchise and subsequently expanded ownership to include Latino partners, forming a cross- regional organizational model.
