Is it Better to be a Jock or a Nerd?
In answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a
nerd?" I submit the following:
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 hit the federal cap of $9500 for such accounts at 8:30a.m. on first day of
the year.
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 RULE!!!!
NERDS RULE!!!!
NERDS RULE!!!!
