be rich enough to be a limited partner, means you're rich enough to have your own specialized lawyer to review the contract (instead of "I know a guy" "my cousin" "prepaid legal" "general counsel"), rich enough to afford an MBA, rich enough to do a dry run in setting up your own hedge/vc/pe fund

otherwise, I don't know exactly. but I've personally been reading wiki pages on fund structures since I was 18 and not eligible for anything, just dissecting the quiet class systems I noticed. scouring SEC documents, and validating my assumptions with hedge fund lawyers and being an LP when I could afford it later
