I just checked their financial report for 2022 and it looks like 50% came from patron funding (which looks like entirely companies like Google), 5% from epics grant, and then 10% corporate membership. 20% came from individuals, and the rest from random other miscellaneous things like the blender market.

Ahh, that was just me misunderstanding what patron meant, my bad.

It looks like on blender’s website there’s 6 entities on there, and one of them does seem to be an individual fwiw. Here’s his website: aras-p.info.
The rest all seem to be corporations though - meta, aws, some game company I’ve never heard of, AMD, and epic.
