Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?

** Read all the way to the end. **
Michael Jordan made 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 made
$178,100 a day, working or not. If he sleeps 7 hours a night, he made $52,000
every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head. If he went to see a movie, it
cost him $8.00, but he made $18,550 while there. If he decided to have a 5 minute egg,
he made $618 while boiling it. He made $7,415/hr more than minimum wage. He made
$3,710 while watching each episode of Friends. If he wanted to save up for a new
Acura NSX ($90,000) it would have taken 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 probably paid around $200 for a nice round of golf, but was
reimbursed $33,390 for that round. Assuming he put the federal maximum of 15% of
his income into a tax deferred account (401k), he 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 made about $19.60 while watching the 100
meter dash in the Olympics. He made about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.
While the common person spent about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant,
he pulled in about $5600. In his last year, he made more than twice as much as all U.S.
past presidents for all of their terms combined.
Amazing isn't it? Keep reading!!!!
However, if Jordan saved 100% of his income for 250 years, he'd still have less
than Bill Gates has today.
Game over.
Nerd wins.
