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. 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.
