I get closer to $4.6M/yr per partner. $150068552/4 (there are 4 partners in an interview)

Still seems high, but then you have to take into account that their work is very cyclical in that a lot of important decisions need to be made in this time period.

I do not think it's just 10 minutes. It's technically impossible to interview 8*6=48 teams a day (10 minutes a team for 8 hours). I think realistic number is 15-20 teams/day because they also need to discuss each team and come to the decision. It means 2-2.5m per partner which is reasonable compensation for highly talented people.
I did the calculation based on 3 partners for some reason. There's probably a limit to how much time any one partner can spend evaluating startups in a given week without burnout too.
