Net worth mid-late 30s

I'm curious what net worth levels you have reached if you are mid-to-late 30s and have worked in PE for most of your career. 

I personally left PE at age 30 and have been working on the HF side for the past 7 years. Current NW around $16m.

Really? I would think that some PE bros should have more than that including carry value.

Not many will have that kind of NW at around our age unless it’s inherited.

No pain no game.
 

do the math on taxes, vesting and stuff;

16m post-tax is like at least 24m pre-tax; and even then a decent portion of the carry is still unvested, so how would they even come close to 16m

 

how many MF principals/MDS do you think exist with that much carry

vested 16mm by mid 30s is a bit ridiculous even for the best in PE

unvested 10mm-20mm seems way more realistic for even the most mid
