Nerd vs. Jock

[kilowatt]

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.

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 while playing that round.

He'll make about $19.60 while watching the 100-meter dash in the
Olympics, and about $15,600 during the Boston Marathon.

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 500 years, he'll still
have less money than Bill Gates has right at this very moment.

Brings it all in to perspective doesnt it!

I heard that if gates dropped a $100.00 dollar bill it wouldn't be worth his time to pick it up.

I bet neither gates nor jordon have ever enjoyed a deer or elk hunt with friends & family. I'll bet neither gates nor jordon have as good of friends as 99% of the MM members. I bet jordon could kick gates's ass if he wanted to.

nv_ you're absolutly correct it's all perspective and has nothing to do with cash.

Having said that, I wish I had more than I've go!

I'll bet Michael Jordan could kick Bill Gates arse in a fight!

I don't know Brian, I like my anonymity, my relationships are genuine, and I don't worry too much that my wife or kids maybe kidnapped or some paparatzi is going to snap an unflattering picture at some inopportune moment.

In any case the difference between the rich and wealthy in our country is obscene. If Bill Gates had Oprah and Michael's money he would throw himself off a bridge.
