The Rich List is an annual ranking, by income, of the top 25 highest-earning hedge fund managers. The list counts the share each manager earns of his firm's fees as well as the gains on the capital he has personally invested in his funds. Below is a list of all the Hedge Fund Rich List rankings
2012
The top 25 hedge fund managers made $14.4 billion last year.
2011
The top 25 hedge fund managers made $22.07 billion in 2010, betting on both gold and recovery.
2010
Is the recession over? It is for the wealthiest hedge fund managers, who made a record $25 billion in 2009.
2009
Altogether the 25 highest-earning hedge fund managers made $11.6 billion, making 2008 the third-best year for the 25 biggest earners since AR began compiling the list. The group’s average take-home pay was $464 million. That number may pale next to last year’s, when the top 25 earned a record average of $892 million apiece, but the fact remains that $464 million is a kingly sum, especially during a year of global recession, stock market wipeouts and vanishing wealth.
