Nerds versus jocks
An answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?" Michael Jordan will make over $300,
000 a game: $10,
000 a minute, assuming he averages about 30 minutes per game.
Assuming $40 million in endorsements next year, he'll be making $178,
100 a day (working or not)!
Assuming 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 (after the wage hike).
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 his tax deferred account (401k), he will have hit the federal cap of $9500 for such accounts at 8:30 a.
m. on January 1st, 1998.
If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar 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 while the Boston Marathon is being run.
While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600.
Next year, he'll make more than twice as much as all of our past presidents for all of 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.
Nerds win!
