"The Pirate Bay was started by the swedish anti copyright organization Piratbyrån in the late 2003, but in October 2004 it separated became run by dedicated individuals. In 2006 the site changed it's ownership yet again. Today the site is run by an organisation rather than individuals, though as a non-profit. The organisation is registered in the Seychelles and can be contacted using the contact form." https://thepiratebay.se/about

So we just have to trust them that it is non-profit since they don't actually want to be transparent about their income and expenses.

I don't buy it.
