He did not make a lucrative career out of his painting. He was fairly poor... just famous. And not even that until the last few years of his life.

And: "He died of a heart attack on 28 April 1992, aged 82. He bequeathed his estate (then valued at £11 million) to his heir and sole legatee John Edwards." Sounds quite lucrative to me.
