hi,

i am quite new to the series so have not seen all episodes only about the first two, but i was curious and if it is mentioned then apologies but what are or do you think are the fictional salary's in the billions universe of chuck and Wendy rhoades.

i do remember Wendy said she earns 10x more than him during an argument, probably not accurate but in real life what do you think there salary's would be?

i know chucks parents or father are quite rich, and then Wendy did invest $250,000 of her own money to her former patient who went it alone with another hedge fund or her own.

so anyway any thoughts would be appreciated.

in an episode when Chuck said he wouldn't be able to afford his kids private school if Wendy quit his job (i believe that's what the conversation was about) he stated he only makes 180,000 a year.

not sure if we're supposed to feel sorry for him or what. complaining about 180,000 a year lol. what a out of touch douchebag

hi, OK thanks; must have missed him state he earns 180k per year.

It is also stated that Wendy has 3 million in the Axe Capital fund, and her planned bonus was 2 million.

But this show just pulls random numbers out of the air, many of the figures given make no sense when correlated with other info.

Yea lots of random figures used. When he loses over 500m on the biotech... groan... he would have had to have billions invested, making him a majority owner in any small biotech (they mostly have market caps far below the 500m range). And his fund manages 5 billion. Right. So he managed to find a fledgling biotech with a market cap in the billions and went long just before an FDA announcement??

Total bollocks.
