World Cup trophy value soars 157% compared to last World Cup
The FIFA World Cup trophy's intrinsic value has significantly increased, now estimated at $713,000 due to a 157% surge in gold prices since the 2022 tournament. This rise in the trophy's bullion worth reflects broader commodity market trends, including increased demand from institutional investors and central banks seeking stability amid geopolitical and economic uncertainties. The trophy, made of pure gold, has seen its material value grow nearly thirtyfold since its introduction in 1974. AI
