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.
