"An answer to the eternal question "" joke

An answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?" Michael Jordan will make over $300, 000 a game: $10, 000 a minute, assuming he averages about 30 minutes per game. Assuming $40 million in endorsements next year, he'll be making $178, 100 a day (working or not)! Assuming 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 (after the wage hike). 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 his tax deferred account (401k), he will have hit the federal cap of $9500 for such accounts at 8: 30 a. m. on January 1st, 1998. If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar 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 while the Boston Marathon is being run. While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600. Next year, he'll make more than twice as much as all of our past presidents for all of their terms combined. Amazing isn't it? But: Jordan will have to save 100% of his income for 270 years to have a net worth equivalent to that of Bill Gates. Nerds win!
