The private gains can be measured most directly in the form of executive compensation. From 2000 to 2008, the people running the top 14 US financial institutions received cash compensation (salary, bonus, and the value of stock sold) of around $2.6 billion.
相反私人得到的好处则可以通过管理人员津贴的数额来直接计算得出。从2000年到2008年，全美前14家金融机构的管理者总共获得了大约26亿美元的现金津贴（包括工资，分红和股票出售在内）。
