No, he earned $600m from shares. He only earned what the shares were worth at the time. Anyone could have bought/sold them back then.
Quote:
The commercials have become a hit on YouTube, particularly for Shatner's talent for self-mockery
That's the only talent he has, and that's only because he's so easy to mock.

Yes but that is what they are worth to him. No matter if he got them at a lower price overall.
