He still gets money from Bain separate from investment earnings, as this Wikipedia article describes: "a passive profit share as a retired partner in some Bain Capital entities, including buyout and investment funds.[73][89] Because the private equity business continued to thrive, this deal brings him millions of dollars in annual income."198.228.201.161
