How is he not one of the richest guys on the planet?

His net worth is speculated at somewhere between 25-50 million. How is he not worth billions?

Because he sold his creations to Marvel during a time when the thought of royalties was practically non-existent. Seemed like a good deal at the time. He's handled it well through the years.

So he doesn't get anything from the movies?

I honestly don't know. It's probably a mere pittance in the grand scheme of things, though.

how much did they sell for? how does he has millions?

[–] [deleted] 7 years ago

I don't know. It seems like he's doing better than the two guys who created Superman did, though.
