I know Jackson Pollock stuff sells at a mint and all he did was splatter paint all over the canvas willy-nilly, but I don't think he ever saw a dime when he was alive.

I'm trying to figure that out, but I'm not seeing anything. However, he apparently won awards during his lifetime, which would indicate that he was selling work. And he sure traveled a lot, which would either indicate a good income or family money. His father was a pro baseball player, so maybe there was some income there, but it seems like he was a paid professional artist.
