UHNW Individuals

Apologies if off topic.

Slowly realizing that even the super old senior partners in finance rarely scrape the $30M+ NW barrier. Maybe a few rainmakers in IB, old MF/UMM PE Partners with a few funds under their belt, and ultra successful HF PMs. Not saying it's that important in life or is an indication of happiness or success, but was curious about whether these people even exist in finance / if you have worked with any. Seems to me like you either inherit that kind of wealth or are a successful founder.

I’m not trying to say this is the norm, so I’ll start by saying it is NOT common. But in the HF space the people that “make it” and have a long careers (SM specifically but also MM, although MM is more individual vs profit sharing at the overall fund level) get to that level (and relatively young). I work with plenty at that level. As others have mentioned it comes from carry/equity/profit sharing/etc. It rarely will come from just base + bonus (unless you get a great string of investments).
