It’s not really matching his success, it’s matching his pay. Very different things, especially as we know that people today are vastly more productive than in years past.

Just because someone is stealing your work doesn’t mean you didn’t succeed at it(and deserve fair pay).

    I see your point, but in this case I wasn't considering it a personal failure. I am having difficulty providing for my family; being able to do so would be my success, in which I could approach his.

    I'm not being intentionally self deprecating, nor am I (currently) ashamed, but I do appreciate the reassurance you offered.
