Top 7 Most Expensive Olympic Games ever Organized

No. 7: Atlanta Games – 1996, USA


Budget: $1.8 billion

Even though the organizing committee for the 1996 Olympic Games was severely criticized for an over commercialization of the event, they did end up generating a profit of around $10 million. But they did make a pretty hefty investment in order to generate this profit, of around $1.8 billion. The money used was taken from Government funds and taxpayer money.
