JOCK VS NERD

The answer to the proverbial 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, 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 $7415 per hour more than minimum wage.
He'll make $3710 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 every second.
He'll probably pay $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbused $33,390 for that round.
Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred (retirement) account (401K), he will hit the federal cap of $9500 at 8:30am on January 1st.
If you were given a penny for every $10 he made, you'd be living comfortably at $65,000 a year.
He'll make $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics.
He'll make about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.
While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restuarant, 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.
