Westinghouse paid Tesla quite a bunch of money. Which Tesla happily spent. Tesla was not successful as a business man and lived in fancy hotels, this why he was why he was in debt so much.
He was a great showman but he ultimately didn't deliver. The myth of Tesla doesn't live up to the reality.
Well, there was also the point where he granted Westinghouse free use of his patents, as Westinghouse was in a financial struggle to stay afloat. That easily stripped Tesla of income---but he realized there was no profit in killing the milk cow, and he was desirous that his technology prevail and be accepted.
Nope.
