Haha, you're right. There are fund managers who make that much though :) I meant 8 figures for quants; need more coffee...

Yeah I was going to say i thought quants pretty much topped out in the mid 8 figures. Although to be fair, I can't even fathom making ten figures annually. Having a compensation package that compares to the GDP of a small nation is beyond my comprehension.

Well, the guys making that kind of money (David Tepper comes to mind) are managing their own money with the fund / family of funds as well. I'm sure it's almost all capital gains.
