Light Street Cap Low Down

What is Light Street's actual AUM? Have heard anything from $3bn to $7bn, anyone know the actual number? Public mkts + Private stuff AUM, that is. I know their investment team is like 15 ppl (right?), so $200-460mm per head. Also they seem to kill it every year, any reason as to why they're not $10bn+?

Would appreciate any intel on comp @ Light Street as well if anyone knows.
