Though the average specimen in captivity might live 25 or 35 years, an old koi named Hanako, from Mino province in Japan, has been shown to be over 215 years old based on analysis of her scales, and other 100+ year old fish are known from the same pond. Koi, like wild carp, can grow to 36 or more under perfect conditions.
The gold and silver medals weigh 412 grams (0.9 pounds) and the bronze medal weighs 357 grams (0.78 pounds). They are the biggest and heaviest summer Olympic medals ever made.
The 24 karat gold-plated Oscar statue is worth $629 and is 13.5 inches tall. At 8.5 pounds, it's no wonder pretty much everyone who receives one is surprised by just how heavy it is. That's a lot of money and gold for one small statue, but it's nothing compared to the cost of the whole ceremony. The 16,500-square-foot red carpet costs a whopping $30 thousand, which is probably why the show adds up to $42.8 million per year. If you want to attend the after party, it's an additional $119,800 per couple.
