To all the hard working Americans....

The answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?"

Michael Jordan makes over $300,000 a game.

Consider this:

That $10,000 a minute, at an average 30 minutes per game. 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 sugar plums 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), he 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.

He'll make 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 250 years,

 he'll  still have less than Bill Gates has today.

Game over. Nerd wins!
