I will focus only on the three big names in Greek philosophy:

I believe the most notable philosopher to keep in mind with regard to money is Socrates. While he is considered the teacher of Plato, he did not receive payment of any kind for his teachings. Plato, on the other hand, did receive payment for in his Academy. Aristotle, like Plato, received payment for teaching in his Lyceum. He was also a personal tutor to Alexander the great for which he was paid very well.
