Michael Jordan has been generally acknowledged as one of the highest paid sports stars. He made over $300,000 a game. That equals $10,000 a minute, at an average of 30 minutes a game. With $40 million in endorsements, he made $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's cost him $7, 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 an hour 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.
He'll probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed $33,390 for that round.
Assuming that he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into a tax deferred account (401k), he will hit the federal cap of $9,500 at 8:30 am on January 1 of each year.
If you were given a penny for every $10 he made, you'd be living comfortably on $65,000 a year
He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the Olympics.
He'll make about $15,000 during the Boston Marathon.
While a common person is spending about $20 for a meal in a trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5,600.
In his last year, he made more than twice as much as all past US presidents for all their terms combined.
However, if Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 250 years, he'll still have less money than Bill Gates has today!
Now, that's why you should be nice to nerds.
