Jocks Vs. Nerds
Michael Jordan is retired with over $40 million in endorsements,
makes $178,100 a day, working or not.
If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he makes $52,000 a night, while
visions of sugarplums dance through his head.
If he goes to see a move, it'll cost him $7.00, but he'll
make 18,550 while he's there.
If he decides to have a hard boiled egg, he'll make $618
while he's boiling it.
He'll make $3,710 while watching an episode of Friends.
He'll probably pay $200 for a nice round of golf, but
he'll be reimbursed $33,390 while he's there.
If you were given a penny for every ten dollars he made,
you'd be living comfortably at 65,000 dollars a year.
He'll make $19.60 while watching Usain Bolt run the 100 meter
dash, and about $15,800 during the boston marathon.
Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% into a tax defferred
account (401k) his contributions will hit the federal cap of
$9,500 at 8:30 AM, January 1st.
This year, he will make more than twice the money of all the past
president's yearly earnings combined.
He makes more than $7,000 more per hour than minimum wage.
If he wanted to save up for a Mercedes Maybach 57 S ($356,000) it
would take him a whole two days.
Amazing, isn't it?
However...
If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 450 years,
He'll still have less and Bill gates has today.
Game over.
Nerds Win.
