That's been true since day one. Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel got $130 (about $2,000/£1,500 in today's money) for selling the rights to Superman. They even had to go to court in the 70s just to get $20,000 annually from DC, which is something that basically never happens to anyone who didn't create Superman.
