I think you calculated that wrong. I get $1.8B at that price.[0] Though that 7700 lb estimate assumed the sculpture was made of aluminum; rhodium is about 4.5X

[0]: 7700 lb * 14.5833 troy oz/lb * 16100 $/troy oz = 1,807,891,701
- dkersten 6y agoAh, thanks for the correction. I just quickly googled values and multiplied them but thinking about it, I probably multiplied by "lb/troy oz" instead of "lb/troy oz" or something like that. I'm an idiot :) Your figure does sound a bit more realistic. Still, printer ink...
