The Surprisingly Low Value of the Premier League Trophy Exposed

A study conducted by The Gold Bullion Company suggests that the Premier League trophy holds a value of approximately £7,030. In contrast, the World Cup trophy is estimated to be worth a staggering £359,632, based on the amount of gold present in its composition.

While it may be considered by many as the best league in the world, the Premier League only has a silver trophy, and its weight of 9,500 grams puts its valuation well below some of football’s more lavish prizes.

The Ballon d’Or, for example, is worth a reported £291,200, given that it is, like the Jules Rimet, made entirely of gold. And it makes sense that the two most prestigious awards in world football are the most expensive trophies on offer.

of these are for sale, of course, and value is often about more than just the weight of gold or silver. Plenty of players would not swap the Premier League trophy for the Ballon d’Or.

It should also be noted that there is not just one Premier League trophy. There are two, both of which are identical and engraved with the division’s past winners. One is held by the current champions and one is with the Premier League.

The Gold Bullion Company also claim that the Premier League trophy could be the most valuable in the world, if it was made of gold. In that case, it would be worth an estimated £1,479,296. It is, of course, a sizeable trophy, standing at 3ft 5in and weighing 25.4kg.
