Lee Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 This one is a little dated, but it's still a good comparison/analysis. This is circa 1990's info: INTERESTING INFORMATION. In answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?" the following has been submitted: Michael Jordan will make over $300,000.00 per game: $10,000 a minute, assuming he averages about 30 minutes per game. Assuming $40 million in endorsements next year, he'll be making $178,100 a day (working or not)! Assuming 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 will 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 $618.00 while boiling it. He makes $7,415/hr more than minimum wage - after the wage hike. 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 his tax deferred account (401k), he will hit the federal cap of $9500 for each year at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st. If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar 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. He'll make about $15,600 while the Boston Marathon is being run. While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5,600. Next year he'll make more than twice as much as all of our past presidents for all of 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. The moral of this story: Nerds rule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
