The official price tag for the Tokyo Olympics is USD 15.4 billion, which a University of Oxford study says is the most expensive on record. What else could those billions buy? The ballpark figure for building a 300-bed hospital in Japan is USD 55 million. So you could put up almost 300 of these. The average elementary school in Japan costs about USD 13 million. For that price, you get 1,200 schools.
