Shakespeare did not make a lot of money from his plays. He did make some by selling his long poems Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. But mostly he made money by being a shareholder both in the theatre company he belonged to and in the theatres he partly owned. That meant that if the company turned a profit, he got a share, and if someone rented the theatre he got a share of that too.
