The simple answer is no. The more complicated answer is only partly. It was primarily owned by the Burbage brothers, Cuthbert and Richard, who were the real owners, not Shakespeare. However when it was being built, they sold shares in the theatre to raise some money to cover construction costs. Shakespeare bought one of these shares, so he got a slice of the profits the theatre made, if it made any.
