They seldom do, at least not in the way of money. Charles Manson and Gacy have/had little use for money..sans whatever sits in their prison accounts, which can be spent on little sans necessity items/snacks. Shit most of us consider to be no big deal.
The real profit goes to those that obtain these pieces of art (often times for free) and sell them.
From what I hear Manson never receives any money for the seemingly endless films/books out there claiming to detail his life. I wonder how much money Guns + Roses made as a result of covering "Look At Your Game Girl"? How much did Vincent B. bring in for "Helter Skelter"? People, often times those with next-to-no connections to these individuals, are the ones making serious profit. I think this has a lot to say about the society/world we live in. Most everyone finds this shit interesting in one way or another.
In others words, a Manson (or whoever else..) painting that goes for $700 dollars...he will likely see very little if any of that money. And even if he got all of it, what's he gonna spend it on? Stamps? A bag of chips? Maybe occasionally a bit of pot (which is a substance often "bartered" in the prison system as prisoners aren't really supposed to keep cash).
