Something to put things into perspective. Make sure you read the last line....

• Michael Jordan will make over $300,000 a game, $10,000 a minute, assuming he averages about 30 minutes a game.


• Assuming $40 mil in endorsements next year, he'll be making $178,100 a day (working or not)!


• Assuming 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 Independence Day, 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 (after the wage hike)


• 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 days.


• 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.


• He could take 1/100,000th of his income and buy some poor college student 5200 packages of Ramen.


• Assuming he puts the federal maximum of 15% of his income into his tax deferred account (401k), he will hit the federal cap of $9500 for such accounts at 8:30 a.m. on January 1st, 1997.


• If you were given a tenth of a penny for every dollar 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 while the Boston Marathon is being run.


• While the common person is spending about $20 for a meal in his trendy Chicago restaurant, he'll pull in about $5600.


• Next year, he'll make more than twice as much as all of our past presidents for all of their terms combined.


• And something to cheer you up after all of this. . . Jordan will only have to have this income for 270 more years to have a net worth equivalent to that of Bill Gates.
