Karate has a number of Branches (like Shotokan, Goju-ryu, etc.) and eack style branch may have even more sub-branches (for e.g. Shito-ryu alone has around 25 sub-branches). Traditionally each style has a single 10th dan at the top of the organization. There are many individuals that are not happy with being unable to raise to that level, so they create their own style, so that they can promote themselves to that rank. I have met and trained with three individuals that have reached the rank of 10th dan through the organizations they have been members of for over 50 years.
