Only partly. The way it happened was this: the brothers Cuthbert and Richard Burbage had inherited The Theatre Playhouse, the oldest playhouse in the London area, from their father James. The Theatre could not be used because the landlord had locked the Burbages out of the building even though it was their building, just on the landlord's land. So they decided they would take down the Theatre in the winter when the landlord was away and move some of the second-hand materials to a spot south of the river and build a new playhouse. However, they did not have enough ready cash to do this, so they borrowed from their friends, including their friend William Shakespeare. In exchange, Shakespeare got one-eighth of the profit of the new theatre, which was, of course, the Globe.
