Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?

The answer to the eternal question "Is it better to be a jock or a nerd?": Michael Jordan made 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 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'll cost him $9.50, 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'd make $3,710 while watching each episode of Friends.

If he wanted to save up for a new Acura SLX (about $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'd probably pay around $200 for a nice round of golf, but will be reimbursed around $30,000 during 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'd make about $19.60 while watching the 100 meter dash in the Olympics.

He'd 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'd pull in about $5600.

In his last year, he made more than twice as much as all U.S. past presidents for all of their terms combined.

... 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.


***My side note...Bill might have alot of money but the jock gets all of the hot women.
With that much money, they can all get hot women.

Well if I'm choosing, I'm going with the jock with money....
Way too much time on your hands to do all those calculations. Also, nerds usually hire the jocks, so that might say something to you as well.

Well, I didn't do those calculations. It was in an email to me.

And if both have alot of money, then how much is not really an issue. You have to start looking at other factors....

Well...if he did, then that tells me that he doesn't have time for the things I would want to do...

It might be true at some point, but according to my Quality of Lovin' Index ™, nerds score much higher than jocks. Nerds think about sex much more than jocks due to a lack of social life and are more likely to think about more than themselves.

Someone must have written this about 10 years ago. Very impressive that it has kept going that long. Then again, the person may have just had no clue.

I've seen this before so it has probably been around for 10 years.

Even if it is 10 years old, the numbers are still quite interesting.

Jock is not all it is cracked up to be!

True...but nerds aren't all that either. The ones I've dated seem to be really insecure around me.
I guess the question is really how much money is enough money?

The jock has a boatload of money, which he gets from being employed by the nerd.

As long as I don't have to work and my student loans are paid, I could be a content woman! To be a happy woman, well, I would need my Mercedes... ;-)
