Jock or Nerd
As the 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 = $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.
-
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), 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.
-
He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the
Olympics.
-
He'll make 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 250 years,
he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.
-
Game over. Nerd wins.
