How many wealthy people do you know who got rich from HFs?

How many of your friends/colleagues have surmounted 5/10mil and at what age/how long did it take them to accrue this?

And then,

How many of your friends/colleagues have surmounted 15-50+mil and importantly at what age?

Interested to see how easy people within funds believe accruing this sort of wealth actually is…?

Appreciate all comments
