The Emirates Group is still owned by the Al Maktoum family. I wouldn't say that the company is owned by an individual but it is controlled by an individual family.
Dubai did not get control over the Group (or part of it) in return for the money. As FlyEK pointed out, it is a loan. However, the Emirates Group could serve as a security in case the money isn't paid back.
