Michael Jordan's "Legacy"

Michael Jordan used to make over $300,000 a game: $10,000 a minute assuming he averaged about 30 minutes a game.

Assuming $40 million in endorsements next year, he was making $178,100 a day, working or not.

Assuming he slept 7 hours per night, he made $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums danced in his head.

If he went to a movie, it cost him $9.00 (with no popcorn), but he made $18,550 while he was there.

If he decided to have a 5 minute egg, he made $618.00 while it was boiling.

He made $7,415.00 per hour more than the minimum wage.

He made $3,710 while watching a half-hour TV program.

If he wanted to save up for a new Acura NSX (90,000), it would take him a whole 12 hours.

If someone had to hand him his salary and endorsement money, they would have to hand him $2.00 every second.

He probably paid around $200.00 for a nice round of golf but he was reimbursed $33,390 for that round.

If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar he made, you'd be living comfortably at $65,000.00 per year.

Last year, he made twice as much as all of our past presidents, for all their terms combined.

Amazing, isn't it?

BUT: JORDAN WILL HAVE TO SAVE 100% OF HIS INCOME FOR 270 YEARS TO HAVE A NET WORTH EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF BILL GATES.
