Have you ever wondered how much an Olympic Gold Medal is worth?

When you were younger, you probably believed they were made of solid gold.

However, one Twitter user has debunked the myth that one of the most prestigious medals in the world are actually worth that much.

While the Olympics aren't bulk buying the prizes from Tesco, they're definitely not as expensive as we once thought.

A gold medal would set you back $820, which is £588 or €696.27.

That's relatively cheap compared to the thousands we once thought we'd get for one!
