Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?

Michael Jordan having "retired, " 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 $7.00, 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.

his 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.
