Demographics in High Finance (Males)?

What % of each demographic below (males) would you say make up high finance at both junior and senior levels in the US/UK?

1 - Lacrosse player from Yale/Dartmouth/USC/UVA with a 9 digit trust fund. Family has their name on a couple of buildings at his school. Physically very chad-y (tall, athletic, attractive)
 

2 - Caucasian hardos from Wharton/Stern/Ross/McDonough/Mendoza, not necessarily trust fund kids, but not the nepotism kids like #1. Can come from a variety of backgrounds, but usual privileged ones. Usually physical chad-y (tall, muscled, athletic)

3 - Asian/Indian grinder from MIT/Stanford/Princeton/Harvard, works hard as fuck, no family connections though. Usually only looks marginally better than a pale virgin compsci/engineering geek (skinny, little muscle mass, average height). Has an accent or wears glasses.

4 - Latino/African diversity guys. Comes from all walks of live, from the Chiraq suburbs to Exter/Andover. Usually comes from either shit-tier state schools or mid-tier privates (Penn State, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Cornell). Usually looks like absolute geeks or roided athletes.

5 - Literally borderline nobility from Europe. Almost same as #1, except he went to Oxbridge/LSE/Warwick/UCL/St Andrews. Physically very chad-y too.

I'm going to venture a guess and say:

1 - 72%

2 - 10%

3 - 13%

4 - 2%

5 - 3%
