Is it possible for a company publicly traded such as Hasbro to become a one-man/family/whatever owned company?

You just buy all the shares. Then the company is yours.
There are also public limited companies which have never issued any shares, which is the same situation from the opposite angle.

Yup, you simply buy all the shares up. By definition the moment one person owns all the shares it is no longer a publically traded company IIRC. And remains as such as long as the shares are held by that one person.

If you buy more than 50% of the shares you are usually forced to buy the remainder within a certain time frame or suffer some penalties.
IIRC you must sell off all or most of your stock if your takeover bid is rejected which is a massive killer as you loose out due to the weak return on your investment due to flooding the market.

If you reach about 85% buy up you can force sale of the remaining percentage.
So just because a sotney widow doesnt want to sell doesnt prevent you from closing up.
