    I dont know if this is old, I just saw it in another forum...- Michael Jordan having "retired," with $40 million in endorsements, 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 8:30am 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.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>- If Jordan saves 100% of his income for the next 450 years, he'll still have less than Bill Gates has today.</div>WOW. Im speechless.Bill Gates is worth about 53 BILLION dollars. He makes:- $37.43 per second.- $134,781.55 per hour.- $3.23 Million per day.- $22.64 Million per week.- $1.18 Billion per year.- If you had 24,522,864,691 one dollar bills, and laid them end to end, you would have a line of bills that runs 2,376,423.4 miles.- Rand McNally says that it's 2912 miles from New York City to Seattle. Laying bills end to end, you could make that round trip 408.0 times.The average distance to the moon is 238,855 miles. You could make that round trip 4.9 times.- If you spent 24 hours a day laying these bills end to end, and were able to sustain a rate of 2 bills per second, it would take you 388.80 years to complete the job. If you took 24,522,864,691 one dollar bills, and could actually balance them in a stack, that stack would be 8,770,695.5 feet or 1,661 miles high.- By comparison, it's 200 miles from New York to Baltimore. If you took that stack and lay it down on the ground, it could make that trip between New York and Baltimore 8.3 times. - Let's say you wanted to spend every dime of Bill's money, and you set a time limit of 30 years to do it. Assuming you worked 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, you would have to spend it at the following rates:Per year $817.43 MillionPer month $68.12 MillionPer week $15.67 MillionPer day $2.24 MillionPer hour $93.2 ThousandPer minute $1.6 ThousandPer second $25

    Let's put it this way..if Bill Gates woke up with Oprah's money he would jump out a window. That's how rich he is.
