Yes, he was paid for painting the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel. At first he was supposed to paint Christ and 12 apostles, and the payment was agreed upon. In the end he painted all those scenes from rhe Old Testament + a lot of extra figures, over 300 figures in all. but the pope only paid what was originally agreed. Many years later Michelangelo painted the large Last Judgment on the wall above the altar in the Sistine Chapel. This time he was paid better.
