Do Oscar winners get paid? Hollywood stars get huge benefits but can't sell statuette

Even though winning an Oscar doesn’t come with a cash reward, it’s still a huge win for actors.

It brings them a lot of recognition and seriously boosts their careers.

Plus, let’s not forget winners and nominees leave with a swag bag that’s packed with products worth thousands.

You might guess that Oscar winners can cash in by selling their trophy.

However, that’s not an option.

According to the Academy’s strict rules, winners can’t sell or give away their Oscar. If they ever decide they don’t want it, they have to hit up the Academy, which will buy it back for just $1.00.

The 2024 Oscars take place on Sunday, March 10.
