He got the money from the king and queen of Spain. First he had tried to get it from the king of Portugal but he was refused because that king's scientists had gone over Columbus' calculations and decided (correctly, as it turned out) that the calculations were wrong and that Columbus would never find the Indies where he thought they were. All historians today agree that his discovery of America was pure luck.
