Can a registrar ransom a domain name which has become popular?

I am slightly paranoid about my domain name I have. I think the site I am building could have potential and take off in the future. I am worried though if the people I registered the domain name with might try and extort more money off me or take away my domain name for themselves.

I am guessing when Google first started out they must have bought their domain name through a registrar, so how did they get to keep a hold of it and make sure no one stole it from them or prevent the company they registered it with extorting more money from them?

How much do you think Google pay to keep their domain name? Do you think its still the original price they paid back all those years ago?

Do registrars do this?

If so, what is the likelihood it could happen with my domain name?

How can I protect my domain name?

Who actually owns a domain name?

Maybe I am just being paranoid but I would hate to see that when my domain needs renewal the cost jumps from $10 to like $1 million dollars etc.
