Potential Net Worth of MBB/T2 Partners

I recently found out about the potential for Bain partner co-invest and was interested in how much wealth that possibility could generate. I found this report which details the net worths of Bain partners on the second page (linked below). I wanted to see if anyone had any info on salary/wealth of partners at McKinsey/BCG/T2s. I know this would be very hard information to get/would be closely guarded but was curious if anyone had potentially interesting info out there. I understand there are differing tiers within the partnership level as well. 

I have heard that OW and LEK partners in particular make a lot of money but wanted to confirm.

Thanks for sharing this. I don't have anything to add here but just wanted to comment - As someone growing up in a working-class family of (non-software) engineers, having a net worth of 10M at age 40 is completely bonkers. This is insane...

 

A lot of this you can back out based on salary data. 

Assume you make partner by ~35, and the age in question is 45, you have 10 good years of earning. Assuming you are an average performer, and making 1m-1.25m for each of those 10 years, after taxes your take home pay is ~6-7m in a high taxes city. Assuming your expenses (non wealth-building) are ~100k/year, that lowers the savings/networth to 5-6m.

You can add back in savings pre partner, optimistically at 1m, and you are left with around 6-7m in savings by age 45, not counting investment returns. 

 

I think these types of things make a lot of sense when you have something to confirm it against, like the data presented in the article in this case. In general, if I saw someone do the classic consulting backing out with the numbers, each assumption would have been probably debated before ie partner @ 35 or making 1MM etc.
