Who makes more? Law partner vs IBD or PE partner?

I'm generally curious - not a troll or anything but I just read an article on a law partner making 11 million a year from Cravath, Swaine & Moore. So what do you think, who makes more in a year? My guess is the PE partners, but I have not found a good source on what a mega fund partner could reasonably make in a year. I've heard GS pays around 3-6mm to its partners.

Thoughts? Predictions?
