In the world of music, many people consider the Oscars and Grammys to be the highest awards, but what is their monetary value? Let's find out.
Oscar:
An Oscar is made of 24-karat gold, and has a value of about $400.
It's also worth noting that an Oscar can be made in solid silver or solid gold. The difference between these two materials is based on their purity level: Solid silver has a purity of 92% while solid gold has a purity of 99%.
Grammy:
The Grammy Award is a symbol of artistic achievement. It has been awarded since 1958 to musicians for their contributions to music. In the early days, it was given to soloists and instrumentalists only; today it also goes to vocalists and composers, producers, arrangers and engineers (often referred to as "music professionals").
The award ceremony takes place each year at Madison Square Garden in New York City on January 26th or 27th (depending on how many awards are given out).

The value of an Oscar is about $400, a Grammy about $750
The value of an Oscar or Grammy is about $400, but it’s not the same as its value.
The statuette for the Academy Awards is made out of metal and weighs 8 pounds, while the Grammy statuette is made from plastic and weighs 4 pounds. That means that an Oscar has a metal frame around it whereas Grammys are more like small trophies you can keep on your shelf or hang up next to your door.
But even though they look different, both trophies have one thing in common: They're made out of gold!
Conclusion:
The value of an Oscar or Grammy is about $400 for each one. There are only a few hundred Oscars awarded every year, but many more Grammy awards given out annually.
