Nerd vs. Jock...
The answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a
jock or a nerd?"............
Michael Jordan having "retired," 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.
If he decides to have a 5-minute egg, he'll make $618
while boiling it.
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), his contributions will hit
the federal cap of $10,500 at 8:45 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.
He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in
the Olympics and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.
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 450 years,
he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.
Game over. Nerd wins.
Cheers,
THUNDER
