Bob Ross got fame, the good feeling of teaching something, a job where he just paints calmly for a living, he got a good life out of it.
He got an entire art supply empire with franchises that sold painting courses (and maybe still do?).
I think he also got screwed out of most of the proceeds and possibly even the use of his own name because he had a shady business partner.
