Top 25 hedge fund managers earned $13bn in 2015 – more than some nations

[Equinox Moon]

How has the Obama administration curbed wallstreet, as HRC claims?

Top earners, Kenneth Griffin and James Simons, made $1.7bn each despite ‘hedge fund killing field’ on Wall Street where many companies lost billions or closed

Kenneth Griffin, founder and chief executive of Citadel, and James Simons, founder and chairman of Renaissance Technologies, shared the top spot, taking home $1.7bn each – equivalent to the annual salaries of 112,000 people taking home the US federal minimum wage of $15,080.

Both men have poured a lot of money into the presidential race, but both backed Republicans who dropped out.

Griffin, 47, who started from his dorm at Harvard University, was the biggest single donor to Rahm Emanuel’s successful campaign for a second term as mayor of Chicago.

Emanuel is considered a Democrat... Emanuel closed 50 schools. Griffen wants him to close 125 schools.
