>The goal of all of those entities I listed is to make money.

No its not.You obviously know enough about this topic, yet you make this dubious claim. The goal is to be in the black to not go in the red. That's a very specific accounting goal, look it up.

> The point is to note the fact that there's A LOT more profit in big tech than in big finance.

Please dude. Apple isn't taking that "LOT more profit" and subdividing it among its employees, yeah ? Whereas when you run a tiny hedge fund and take in a tiny $7m, that turns into a tiny $2m windfall for you personally. Lot easier to do if you have the skills, and certainly a lot more lucrative.
