Kirkbi A/S is an independent, family-owned Danish holding and investment firm which was founded in 1974 as the Kristiansen family’s investment company. The Kirkbi name, a combination of the name KIRK and the firm's headquarters in Billund, was adopted in the 1980s to distinguish between the LEGO activities and the family’s investment activities. The firm manages an investment portfolio and owns the LEGO® brand and the majority of the Kirk Kristiansen family's joint activities, including their majority shareholding in LEGO A/S and a significant shareholding in Merlin Entertainments. In 2007, the majority of the Kirk Kristiansen family’s investment activities were combined in Kirkbi A/S and another part is combined in KIRKBI AG, a Swiss firm owned jointly by family members.
