Congrats. It's a struggle to believe it but I've had a couple or big (but not unprecedented) sales recently. Maybe they have a new method of upselling. This, however is way beyond unprecedented.

Nice, congrats!

in my opinion is an error...what kind of royalty would cover this?
maybe some rm company can sell for this. but rf ?

I was wondering the same thing. How do you even ask for that amount on Shutterstock, or was this some kind of behind the scenes negotiation? Not saying it couldn't or didn't happen, I'm just wondering how.

Yes that would be one sweet payout if it is for reals!

the photo is on the single and other sell like on the section of extended licence. cross my finger

cross finger.

Perhaps it is some incredibly sensitive use, and they have charged the client accordingly.
Are there people in the photo?

What's really funny is this used to be fairly normal up until about 15 years ago

Blame technology.
30 years ago if I wanted to print a colour photo in a supplement for the newspaper I edited, I had to send the transparency by ferry to a processor in Inverness and wait a week for the separation to come back. Fortunately we could just cut them into the page negative - but a few years earlier they had been relying on hot-metal, and the blocks after being made on the mainland had to be clamped into the chase frame.
Obviously, very little colour was used back then. Even making the negs for B&W printing took time.  So photos were only used for special occasions and very few will have been bought. Digital not only opened the door to masses of amateur photographers, it was also associated with the development of printing processes that could handle a lot of colour with separations being made automatically and inserted into Quark Xpress, then going directly to an offset plate.
So instead of a few people getting occasional high value sales we now have lots of people getting masses of low value sales. I can understand why the old-time photographers grieve for the loss of the old ways.

Have you checked the whole amount, prior to that sale. In some occasions I've seen the whole amount in my unpaid earnings (Thousands of $$). Usually they correct it after a day or so... Huge turn off...
