Did Shakespeare make money with writing plays?

He must have sold his earliest plays directly to various playing companies. Playwrights in Shakespeare's day were not particularly well-paid as a rule, and many writers who relied on writing to live lived and died in poverty (Thomas Dekker for one).But Shakespeare was also an actor and later had an interest in the profits of the theatre company. What that meant was that he did not get paid money for the plays he wrote--he was the house playwright, and his plays automatically became the property of the company. But because they were good plays, and popular plays, people wanted to come to see them, and that meant more money at the box office and that meant more profits for the sharers in the company. So Shakespeare did make money out of his plays, and so did Burbage and Heminges and all the other sharers. And they all made money out of Burbage's acting as well.
