Big deal.
Leif Ericson and whole bunch of others "discovered" the New World, too.
It was Columbus who actually was able to:
(1) capitalize,
(2) exploit,
(3) take advantage of,
(4) make a profit
on the endeavor.

No he didn't, Columbus himself didn't get anything for his efforts. There weren't much to exploit in the west indies.
