Maybe he didn't get even a single cent. He was probably too excited at the thought that his pictures would be published he forgot he should be paid.
Those photos are worth between 3m and 5m [maybe more] given that they appeared on the front page and set the whole nation talking. Add to that the fact that NM can re-sell the image rights to other media houses [local and international] and the risk factor and they are worth much more. If you have such pictures it helps to use mercenary tactics. Offer them to both Standard and Nation and let each know you are in discussions with the other. Let them outbid each for approximately 3 hours and then sell to the highest bidder!
Biashara ni biashara.If it was me, I would be on my way to the Caribbean right now for a well earned holiday [and hiding - LOL] after depositing some of the money with my broker to do the necessary.
Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
