MF PE Senior Partner Comp vs MM HF PM Comp

Lets say both of these people did a 2 year analyst stint, and go into their respective sectors. They crush it, (95th percentile) and make their positions at 35.

Assuming they have been keeping expenses under 150k since they left IB, lived frugal during their analyst days, and are now living (slightly upper) middle-middle class, investing nearly everything else at a conservative ~7.5% return rate, what would you guess the lifetime comp and net worth is at retirement, assuming they retire at, ~50-55?
