The Nobel Prize medal awarded in 1988 had a market value of approximately $365 in terms of its mineral content. The medal is made of 18-carat green gold, but its actual value may vary due to factors like fluctuating prices of gold and other metals.
I've been told, it's $25,000 for a Gold Medal. Doesn't seem like much, but they also have endorsements and sponsors too.
$13122.32 US Dollars at todays market price of $1623.60 if it weighed 250 grams like the medals do today. Steve Looser
She wins gold like in the 2012 Olympic Shot Put, She has not won a bronze medal since 2005 world championships in Helsinki
if you mean Medal, like Olympic Gold Medal that is not pure gold (usually an overlay) and it's value is hard to quantify - to the Olympian is most likely is priceless... actual amount of gold in a Medal is 6 grams - about $200 and the remainder is silver - about another $100... then the minting of course - which is hard to account for on an individual medal basis.. but it must be about 20% of the metal. i think the 2010 medals have jade in them but it can't be too much... so maybe the whole thing costs $450.... and you can buy one on eBay for $50,000
Probably because they won a gold medal, and they were on their home ground.
That will be based on their total income for the year, as well as the country. The US Olympic committee pays an award bonus of $25,000 for a gold medal. That is taxable income. Someone like Michael Phelps with a huge income from endorsements is going to pay a higher tax rate than someone getting a single medal at their first Olympics. With no other income, a medal winner would probably pay less than $2,000 of it in taxes. Someone like Phelps could pay as much as 40%, but the reality is that a good tax accountant will take advantage of the appropriate methods of reducing taxes.
last year and like novber
