Answer:

Paine donated the profits to the Continental Army, headed by General George Washington. Curiously enough, although modern historians view "Common Sense" as a tremendously influential document, contemporaries actually rarely discussed it, at least publicly. This may be because the contents were treasonous and people feared punishment.
