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.
