Columbus got just enough money up front to help him equip his three ships, borrowed on the security of Isabels promise to pay him. Isabella did pay him the subsidies, but very cleverly only after he had returned safely. The payload he carried back and handed to Isabelle moreover more than covered Isabelle's promised subsidies, so she ended up with a profit.
