How Much Will This Cost?


Recommended Posts

Given that host cities never seem to stay on budget for the Games, any ideas on what the final costs tally will be??? If my numbers are correct, the 2016 Games budget and infrastructure budget total close to $14B USD. I am guessing the total will be at least $18B and may exceed $20B. Anyone else have a guess as to where the final bill comes in?

It is extremely hard to know at this point. Rio de Janeiro, our spectacular former capital city, has been all but abandoned by the Federal Government for almost 50 years. It seems that the Federal Government will try to compensate for this in less than 7 years, so the budget for non-Olympic matters (from both Airports to the cleaning of the city's lagoons) will certainly balloon... I would not be surprised if it reaches almost double the amount foreseen in the bid.
