How many people in PE make $500,000 a year?
Just wondering what the normal range of salaries+bonus is down the line? Thanks.

You should ask in the VC forum too, just to cover all your bases
It's been awhile, but last time I checked, there were 3,274 people working in private equity who make more than $500,000 per year. This equates to 23% of all professionals in private equity. Hope this helps!
That number is outdated, the number now is 5624.6
get up on your facts man
Pretty much every junior VP/senior associate I know makes at least 500k every year (unless you really messed a deal).
