Jocks vs. Nerds

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

Michael Jordan makes over $300,000 a game. That equals $10,000 a minute, at an average of 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 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), 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. :D

Yay nerds!

yeah

and how many times have you heard bill gates being criticized for paying young indonisian children 45 cents a day?

Jordan is more "User Friendly."

That counts for a lot in my book, even though I'm still reviled by his whoring for skivvies and batteries, not to mention the fact that, no matter what medium they're displayed in, the Looney Tunes characters are more believable than he is.

this is ridiculous. all this money going to someone who doesn't know what the heck to do with it and not enough time on his hands to try spending it all. I'm sure Michael Jordan and Bill Gates have given away their fair share of money to the right causes but how come we aren't putting all this money into medical funding but how can you put millions towards one player and not medical funding. oh well. did you know that Vince Carter just hit the NBA maximum for salary. THE MAXIMUM. which is $94 million dollars!!!!!!!

no man, he hit the salary cap for his rookie contract (which he is still on by the way).

Vince is still cool though, nerds are kooler

nerds and nerds. Jocks are jocks. I the man am the MAN.

err, yeah...ok.

Thats pretty amazing MobileBadBoy, i didnt know that...

Wish I had as much money as Bill Gates...

Oh well I will eventually :rolleyes:

HAHA

Oh, for the pleasure of an argument, I’ll just side with the jocks for bit. First of all, Bill has all that ungodly amount of money, and yet he still looks like a sad little geek. You’d think paying a little bit for a more, uh, enjoyable look wouldn’t be too hard,

Besides, you’re amounting his success just with money, tsk tsk. I bet woman throw themselves at Jordan, even without money I’m sure they’d still try and sneak a peak or three. People LIKE M.J, while most people wouldn’t mind seeing Bill roasting on a fire. Bill is a bastard, and overall I much rather get my scheming hands on M.J.. *Muwhahaha*

Nerds, no matter how much money, will always be laughed at if they look the part. Jocks, with their rippling biceps and manly ways.. *starts to pant* money or no I’m sure they are having more fun. Jock all the way baby!!

(Hee, for the record, I really don’t lust after guys just because they have arms big as trees. I depend more on guys who make me laugh, although a nice ass always helps.)
