Jock or Nerd

Here is the answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a 
nerd?":

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.
