OT - Bill Gate's Net Worth in Perspective Michael Jordan used to make over $300,000 a game: $10,000 a minute assuming he averaged about 30 minutes a game. Assuming $40 million in endorsements next year, he was making $178,100 a day, working or not. Assuming he slept 7 hours per night, he made $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums danced in his head. If he went to a movie, it cost him $9.00 (with no popcorn), but he made $18,550 while he was there. If he decided to have a 5 minute egg, he made $618.00 while it was boiling. He made $7,415.00 per hour more than the minimum wage. He made $3,710.00 while watching an episode of 'Friends.' If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX (90,000), it would take him a whole12 hours. If someone had to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to hand him $2.00 every second. He probably paid around $200.00 for a nice round of golf but he was reimbursed $33,390.00 for that round. If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar he made, you'd be living comfortably at $65,000.00 per year. Last year, he made twice as much as all of our past presidents for all their terms combined. Amazing isn't it? BUT: JORDAN WILL HAVE TO SAVE 100% OF HIS INCOME FOR 270 YEARS TO HAVE A NET WORTH EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF BILL GATES. Translation: Nerds Rule!
