    Going with your 5’ x 5’ x 5’ size, that should weigh about 132,624 pounds, or about 66.3 tons. The price, as of 2018, was about $30,000/ton. That works out to be about $2M.

    Still a pretty heft prize.

      Didn’t calculate the price by weight. Just took the number from the 6" cube here and extrapolated from that since it was the easiest math.

      The 5’ cube is 1000 times the size of the 6" cube and the 6" cube is $15k. The prices don’t scale up linearly though. The smaller cubes are better value by weight.
