Ultimately, the money goes to the previous owner of the stock which can be a company, group, or individual. However, the money passes through different hands depending on how the shares were bought and sold. For instance if you bought shares though an online broker then the shares might be purchased in bundles by the online broker, and then transferred to you. Mutual funds buy shares of various companies on your behalf using money you contributed.
