The City of Paris owns 59.9 percent, and various finance houses the rest (except for 0.01 percent belonging to the Paris Tourism and Congress Office). Separate companies run the souvenir stalls, the restaurants and biffets, the telescopes, the ATMs and the guided tours. Profits are about 4 million euros a year (less tax), resulting from a revenue of 66 million, of which 24 go to personnel, 9 to the City of Paris in royalties, 14 to paying of debts.

The Eiffel tower does not sway in the wind at all. It is very big, very tall, and very,very, strong.
The observatory at the top of the Eiffel tower noted a record movement of 13 cm during the tempest of December 1999 (under winds of 240 km/h).
The Eiffel does not, or practically not, move in the wind. Its lattice structure allows for minimal wind pressure, which Eiffel engineers had to kept under a 70 centimetres total amplitude at the summit. That never was the case, and according to the tower's observatory, the greatest amplitude ever recorded at the top was 13 centimetres (5.11 inches) in the strongest winds recorded (240 km/h - 149.12 miles/hour) in the December 1999 tempest.

What holds the Eiffel tower up?
To the best of my knowledge it is a self-supporting tower ( of Iron, not modern Steel) and the only cables would be those for radio and TV transmission ( from the top) and of course the elevators, which are open-frame commoner in Europe than in the US. Not for the Acrophobe- you see the ascent in full view- unlike opaque elevators in most office buildings in US.
