Advisor fees in PE?

Curious what senior advisors such as former CEOs that work with PE firms make?  Say they consult on current deal flow, and then participate in a deal when it goes live.  What would be a fee for a top MM firm?  Would they get a % of the success fee?  Equity?  If so what could an advisor expect for say a $100MM deal that goes through?

Any other thoughts on how these folks do $ wise?

Thanks
