Jock
vs Nerd
Is It Better To Be a Jock or a Nerd? $
Michael Jordan having "retired,
" with $40 million in endorsements,
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 $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,
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.
