Can you make obscene wealth in IB?

Sup Chimps,

Interned at a boutique during my 3rd year of university. We did a lot of bought deals/private placements and IPO's. Got me thinking... 

Can you make obscene wealth in IB by co-investing alongside the firm and acquiring shares in a bought deal/private placement or pre-IPO shares? 

Has anyone done this and made big $$? Is there a way to make Big money in IB? (I'm talking multiple 100K's/Milly's as a Junior - Associate to VP level)
