Alright I did a little research and found a couple of figures that make this interesting. Seigel and Shuster were paid $75,000 in 1940 (which in todays dollar would be $1,097,781). In 1946 they were paid somewhere between $94,000 and $120,000 (which today would be somewhere between $988,330 to $1,261,703). Then in 1975 WB agreed to pay each man $20,000 a year for the rest of their lives (Shuster lived until 1992 and Seigel lived until 1996, and in 1975 $20, 000 was worth $76,000 today). So while I’m not sure if I can really say they were paid their fair share, it’s not like they never got anything for creating Superman.
