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!!
