$ 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.
