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?

As for the alleged Bitfinex hacker, they have been arrested recently:

So maybe we can see some movement if they are going to tell it to the authorities.

However, there are a lot of addresses that we really don't know who own and there's no way that someone will admit that they own it.
