[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course the other side of this is that once you are up to $20M, your kids are basically guaranteed a comfortable standard of living to pursue whatever they want in life regardless of where they go in school/college, and so the marginal benefit of going to HM or whatever fades for different reasons.

It's a catch-22; if you're not wealthy enough to easily afford private school then your money would probably be better spent on something else, but if you are wealthy enough, your kids are going to do great regardless and they aren't necessarily going to want to crawl over the corpses of 1700 other Ivy Leaguers for an entry-level post at the 3rd best hedge fund anyway.[/quote]

my kid is at an Ivy and says half these kids are getting into 1st and 2nd best hedge funds via the nepo train. so be ready to push past that - not easy[/quote]

1st best hedge fund hiring is more meritocratic than HYP admissions. Nepo train will not get you to Citadel, Jane Street or Point 72. Can’t speak for others places.

It is more common in private equity. When you look up a young partner, the father is famous enough to easily see how they helped with brining the connections to raise capital or write the regulation for the sector. [/quote]

Yes, fully agree with this. [/quote]
