In answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a
nerd?", I submit the following:
* Michael Jordan makes over $300,000 a game. That equals $10,000 a
minute, at an average 30 minutes per game. With $40 million in
endorsements, he makes $178,100 a day, working or not.
* If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 every night while
visions of sugarplums dance in his head.
* If he goes to see a movie, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll make
$18,550 while he's there.
* He makes $7,415/hr more than minimum wage.
* He'll make $3,710 while watching each episode of "Friends".
* If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX ($90,000) it would take him a whole 12 hours.
* If someone were to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they
would have to do it at the rate of $2.00 every second.
* He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.
* Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), he will hit the federal cap of $9500 at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st.
* If you were given a penny for every 10 dollars he made, you 'd be
living comfortably at $65,000 a year.
* While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his
trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600.
* This Year, he'll make more than twice as much as all U.S. past
presidents for all of their terms combined.
Amazing isn't it?
* However, if Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 250 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.
* Game over. Nerd wins.
