Is It Better To Be A Jock Or A Nerd?
The answer to the eternal question “Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?”:
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 makes $52,000 every night while visions of sugarplums dance in his head.
If he goes to see a movie, it’ll cost him $9.50, 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’d make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.
If he wanted to save up for a new Acura SLX (about $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’d probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed around $30,000 during that round.
Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), he 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’d make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics.
He’d make about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.
While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he’d pull 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.
… 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.

Oops, I got here by googling an email that had 500 years instead of 250 like posted above. If he saved for only 250 years, MJ would “only” have:
12 * 250 = 3000
$40,000,000 x (1.00475 ^ 3000)
$59,717,907,700,000
just 59.7 TRILLION dollars. Again. Nerd gets Routed.
