HIS AIRNESS AND HIS MONEY

	Michael Jordan recently signed a 1 year contract worth $32 million.
This adds to the more than $35 million he earns annually from a variety
of endorsements.

	How do you visualize more than $60 million per year of income. Let us
count the ways.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 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 Men in Black, 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 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.
 
 He could take 1/100,000th of his income and buy
 some poor college
 student 5200 packages of Ramses Condoms.
 
 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, 1998.
 
 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.
