Typically anything over 50% is considered “ownership” given the control that often comes with such a big chunk of a company.

That's not really true anymore in corporate America though is it? Shares with 10x voting rights, share with no voting rights etc...

Those rights aren’t typical for the Fortune 500. Usually found in public former startups like Facebook with powerful founders or investors-turned-owners. Certain rights associated with preferred stock etc. certainly exists but what you’ll see with voting power at Facebook is far and away the exception to the rule.
