Do we know who owns certain richlist addresses that are not related to an exchange? is there anyway we could find out?

This particular one would be interesting to know. also has gradual inflow

another rich one is from the bitfinex hack: https://glasschain.org/btc/address/bc1qazcm763858nkj2dj986etajv6wquslv8uxwczt
Are those coins still in control of the hacker?

This is the downside to crypto.  People wanting to find out who has big money to either beg them for some, or try to steal it.  I'm not accusing you of this, but it does seem to be a common motivation.  I was once told that the only time to look at someone else's plate is to make sure they have enough to eat.  So for me personally, I'd rather see people wanting to identify longtime active addresses that are short on funds to try and help them out instead of looking at the richlist to see if they can identify anyone to covet their attention or envy their wealth.

Not trying to derail the thread, as you have legitimate questions that someone on this forum could certainly answer.  Just wanted to throw a nugget of wisdom out there.
