Olympic gold medals don’t make money. It is for national pride. Even hosting the games does not always make money.

Actually I am Aussie. 12 years ago it was calculated that each gold medal costs us AU$12m (so about US$11m in today’s money). It embarrasses me.

I am no fan of Eurovision but it is good value for national pride:

Eurovision is funded by participating broadcasters and this contribution is a total of €6.2 million (£5.2 million), combined.

Only 6M €? For an event of that size that feels a lot cheaper than I would have thought.

Don’t forget that there is also income from advertising and ticket sales.
