So a General Partner at an average VC makes $4mm per year?

I'd argue that's not "average," that's probably a good GP at a top VC firm, but it's by no means unreasonable.

High end might be so high that even though it is more than median it still ends up being the mean.

$8mm is for 2015. Salary of 2 GPs is for 2014. Likely some increase from 2014 to 2015.

[the_watcher → samstave]

I think he means total cost to the firm - salary, benefits, insurance, equipment, expenses (VC's travel a lot), etc.

Yuuupppp!!! that sounds like what sama is implying. But sounds about right.
