What Olympic medals are worth and made of!
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/olympi...111600613.html
Read that link above and see what the medals are made of and their worth. I was shocked at the value or should I say lack of value! It was interesting to find out that American Olympians are paid:
Gold Medal = $25,000
Silver Medal = $15,000
Bronze Medal = $10,000
The United States Olympic Committee pays that to winners and other countries pay much differently. I had never knew that they actually were paid outside of promotional money? I bet the family of Jim Thorpe loves seeing professionals in the Olympics and even those we thought were amateurs getting paid!Hidden Content ~ best SCF feature ever!
