Vivek Ramaswamy made 7-figures as a 3rd-year HF analyst?

I wanted to get the forum's thoughts on this, per Fox News: Ramaswamy was already millionaire when he accepted Soros award he said he needed to pay for law school | Fox News

Article mentions "In 2011, the same year he accepted the award, Ramaswamy reported $2,252,209 in total income, according to his tax returns, which he released in June."

This seems likely absurdly high comp, as he was only ~3 years into QVT as a Biotech Analyst before starting at YLS. Anyone have insight?

He seems really smart and probably was a beast as an analyst, but that even seems a lot to me, considering it was post-2008 and he was a 20y old analyst...

 

He dominated the debate 2 days ago - just ran rings around everyone else, even DeSantis. His policy is also great.

 

I disagree with his politics, but from that profile it seems like this guy literally is like the fucking ubermensch. Has he failed in anything in his life?

 

Nope he basically can’t fail.

HS Valedictorian -> Harvard Bio undergrad -> Thesis published in NYT + Founded/Sold Company in undergrad -> GS HC SA -> HF Partner in his late 20s -> YLS just for fun as a PD Soros Fellow -> Nearing 2nd place in Republican primary
