The hirelings were day laborers, paid a set amount for each performance. The shareholders, permanent company members, split the profits after all of the expenses were paid. The Burbages got two shares each. Shakespeare and the top comic got a share and half apiece, and the rest got one share. Depending on the period, there were ten to fourteen members in the company. Some of the troupe, including Shakespeare and the Burbages, also received shares in the rent the players paid to the Globe as part of their expenses.
