Successful Senior PE Guy: Net Worth

Let's say by the grace of god, not only did you stick around long enough to make partner, but you also had the tenacity and grit to grind the early partner years out and not get fired. You've now had 7 - 10 years of steady deal flow under your belt. The last 5 years have ramped quite considerably, and you find yourself putting in increasingly less effort / hours but, every year, you're doing the most business you've ever done.

You're not Steve Schwarzman or Leon Black, you're a successful private equity investor. How much are you worth today? How much could you be worth when all is said and done?
