Hot take: Everyone BUT the original creator at first! Pajitnov got the short end of the stick until he moved to the US.
The game's rights have switched hands multiple times, with companies like the Tetris Company, Inc. and EA making significant profits.
I've read that Henk Rogers played a big role in securing the rights for Nintendo and eventually helped Pajitnov get his due share.
Nintendo made a hefty profit from Tetris when they bundled it with the Game Boy, making it one of the best-selling games of all time.
