there are definitely people in their late 20's out there with 7 figure incomes. Most of them are insanely smart prop traders, Private Equity/Hedge Fund guys, or mayyyyyybe investment bankers. Most investment bankers don't see 7 figures until they're at director level.......... Associates make 250k-350k, late twenties, early 30's.
VP's make around 700k, early to mid 30's.
He probably had some serious pre-existing connections to get into a hedge fund at such a young age, never mind being a hedge fund manager (which usually requires 10+ plus experience at a hedge fund, an MBA AND a CFA). I've no doubt that he's very bright and a whiz kid though, otherwise he wouldn't have lasted this long

haha, a lot of shattered illusions occur in finance. Are you willing to work, on average, 90 hour weeks? Sometimes more? You come in when you're sick, when your child has his/her birthday etc etc. My brother is an investment banker and it's no kind of life. That's why I'm going for the sales and trading side . You don't make as much, on average, (although the top traders make more than anyone), but it's only 60% of the hours. Also, for hedge fund management, you have to be gifted mathematically. Not just smart, but gifted.

I am chiming in late here, but I am 37, 3 kids under 2 years old and one Aston Martin v8v. My Mercedes g500 was about 5 years ago, but my wife stole that away soon after purchase now I hardly get to drive it. B.

I'd like to hear from you...

I just asked how old people are here, not how many cars you have. But good stuff if you actually did start your own hedge fund at the age of 18. What company if I'm looking to invest?
