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

  $ 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.

  $ 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), his contributions 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, and 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 450 years,
    he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.
  $$$ Game over. Nerd wins.
