What did Columbus earn on his trip?

Answer 1

Christopher Columbus earned a title of "Admiral of the Ocean Sea" and was granted a noble status by the Spanish Crown after his first voyage in 1492. He also received a share of the profits from the gold and other resources he claimed for Spain, although the exact monetary gains were limited due to the challenges of financing subsequent voyages and the management of the newly discovered territories. Ultimately, while he achieved significant recognition, his later years were marked by controversy and disappointment.
