I know it’s not Friday anymore, but I still can’t help sharing the above infographic that EquiRatings posted yesterday. Stop and think about that for a second — 1 in 107.5 trillion. That’s pretty nuts. For reference, your odds of winning the Powerball are only 1 in 175 million. Everyone’s calling Tom Brady the GOAT, but I think that title actually belongs to MJ. I’m allowed to say that, because I’m from New England.
