Bill Gates vs. Michael Jordan

  Michael Jordan made over $300,000/game: $10,000 a minute, assuming he averaged about 30 minutes per game. 



 Assuming $40 million in endorsements, he made $178,100 a day (working or not)! 


 Assuming he slept 7 hrs a night, he made $52,000 every night. 
 
 If he goes to a movie, he'll pay $7.00, but he'll make $18,550. 


 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 you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar he made, you'd be living comfortably at $65,000 a year. 


 In one year, he made more than 2X as much as 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.
