Did Einstein get paid for discovering the General Theory of Relativity?

Not directly.
He was, at the time he wrote his work on General Relativity, a professor who was highly respected by his colleagues but unknown to the general public; and thus earning a professor's salary. Due to his work he became, literally overnight, the famous scientist in the world. As such, he was much in demand by the public for various speaking and publicity engagements. In THAT sense, he received monetary reward for his work.
He later won innumerable honors for his work, some of which paid some money.
However, his big prize -- the Nobel -- was for the photo-electric effect.

No, Albert Einstein did not receive a direct payment for discovering the General Theory of Relativity. However, his fame and reputation earned him numerous lucrative opportunities, including academic positions and consulting fees for lectures and talks. Additionally, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921, although it was not specifically for his work on general relativity.

Element named for the scientist known for his theory of relativity?
The theorizer of relativity would be Albert Einstein. Einstein's theory of relativity consisted of special relativity and general relativity. It has to do with relative measurements of quantities to observes, like space contracts and time dilates. Space time was a concept of relativity. The speed of lights invariance was also a part of the theory.
