Shakespeare became incredibly wealthy. He had a found sponsor named Henry Wriothsley. His playwrights were amazing, and people wanted to see them. He also set up a theater company with Henry Carey, Lord Chamberlain. Since he acted and wrote some of the plays, the theater became the most popular theater of that time.

Since he became extremely wealthy, he was able to retire and return back to his home in Stratford in 1610. Most of his fame and wealth came from his hard work as a director, writer, actor, and stockholder in "The King's Men."
