Let’s Rank The Top PE Firms!

Its almost 2021 and I think we need a good ranking thread. What are the best private equity firms out there? Prestige wise.

 

PSA to anybody who has 2nd-year analyst on their profile but is actually a high schooler or college freshman: Nobody cares about your stupid prestige rankings. All of the firms talked about on this forum make up some of the best and highest-paying jobs in the world for their age. Nobody cares if Blackstone is marginally better than KKR (don't take this as a ranking, it's just an example). Pls stop, thx.
