With a ~$50 billion price tag, the Sochi games are nearly 20% more expensive than the 2008 Beijing Olympics— the most expensive Olympics ever. The organizers went $39 billion over budget with projects such as a 31-mile highway/train line that ended up costing $8.7 billion, and could have been paved with Beluga caviar for cheaper.
