Possibly, but a million dollar bonus, when his base isn't even at a million? Isn't that a little out of ordinary?

not really. typically people at these firms make most of their money from bonuses rather than salaries.

Driss Ben-Brahim received a $100M bonus in 2007 from GS as a prop trader. I would guarantee his base salary is much smaller.
