We imagine there is no feeling quite like hoisting an iconic sports trophy over your head after winning it, regardless of if an athlete's first or fifth time winning it.

Aside from one trophy, the most iconic trophies in sports that athletes spend most of their lives trying to win are actually not worth nearly as much money as you would imagine them being worth, though.

Below, there are pictures of five of the most iconic trophies in sports.  Before we show you the value of each, try and guess which is the most and least expensive.

Got your guesses?  Well, prepared to be shocked.  As per FTW and this video shown during an EPL broadcast, the least expensive of the five trophies is the Lombardi Trophy.

The current silver prices make the seven pound silver trophy worth around $2,000.  However, the labor that goes into making each trophy every year boosts the value significantly.

Second on the list is the Larry O'Brien trophy which is awarded to the NBA's championship team.  It's cost, just $13,500.

The World Series trophy is the third most expensive of the five at $18,615 and the Stanley Cup is fourth at $23,478.

So, if you guessed the World Cup trophy to cost the most, you're correct.  The trophy, which is 13.5 pounds and features 18k of gold is good for $20 million.
