  • according to the article Gabe only owns about 25% of the company

    The source for that number is the same Xitter that made up the rumor in the first place:

    Insights from Dior, a prominent figure in the Counter-Strike community, reveal that Gabe Newell owns less than 25% of Valve.

    Valve is not a public company. Unless Dior is on the board of Valve, or know someone who is, he doesn’t know the makeup of the ownership structure. Wikipedia cites a Forbes article that says Gabe owns “more than half” of Valve, although that article was published in 2011 so it’s possible that’s changed.
