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.

Well neither one of them will live long enough to spend all of their money. So I’d say they're pretty much even. Plus, Jordan has countless fans, worldwide popularity, and he was the best basketball player who ever lived. Jordan will be remembered forever as one of the greatest athletes, and Gates, well a dork with more money then he knew what to do with. Don’t get me wrong, Gates is very generous with his money, but I’d rather be Jordan.
