Let's assume someone starts working at 25 and does a 9-5 job Monday-Friday until they are 65. We'll also assume they make about $18 an hour after tax.
That's 8 hours a day, or 40 a week.
Said person would work 2080 hours a year, assuming they never call off sick, take a vacation, and always come to work/leave on time.
If they work for forty years, they would work for about 83,200 hours. Multiply said hours with the salary above and they'll make approximately 1.5 million in their lifetime.
Mayweather got that much money from this fight. If someone simply wanted to gain that much money over a typical career span in a 9-5 career, they'd have to make over four thousand dollars an hour.
Does this prove that an office worker should make 350 million? No, it isn't meant to make a statement. Just some interesting math.
