The Oscars: The actual statue is not worth as much as you would think
Winning the Academy Award may be the pinnacle for an actor, helping him or her get a bigger paycheck on future projects, but the actual statue has a limited value.
The gold-plated statue is worth only $900, according to Forbes.
Winners can’t turn a profit by selling an Oscar.
Actually, anyone who wants to sell their Oscar must sell it back to the Academy for $1.
Winners don't own the statue, its basically on loan to them.
