Jocks versus Nerds
>The answer to the eternal question "Is it better to
be
>a jock or a nerd?":
>
>Michael Jordan makes over $300,000 a game. That equals
>$10,000 a minute, at an average of 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.
>
>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.

>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.
