While the Olympics is one of the biggest sporting events in the world, it comes with a hefty price tag for the cities hosting the games. Since 1960, every Olympics has overspent its budget by building new venues, Olympic villages, and public infrastructure. For the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics, it aims to become one of the cheapest modern Olympics. The total budget for the 2024 Olympics is an estimated $9.7 billion, with 95 percent of the venues needed already built.
