Jock or Nerd?
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 hit the
federal cap of $9500 for such accounts at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st, 1997.
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!
