Columbus had a contract with the Spanish crown. He asked for 10% of the gold he found and the title of Admiral of the Ocean Sea, which would be passed on to his descendants. What he ended up with was nothing. He thought he had found India until the day he died and he spent the final years of his life haggling over his right to 10% of the revenues from the New World even if he didn't come home with any.
