165,000 metric tonnes of gold would take up a relatively small amount of space as gold is a dense metal. One metric tonne is equivalent to 1,000 kilograms or 2,205 pounds. To estimate the space 165,000 metric tonnes of gold would take up, we can use the density of gold which is around 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter. A cubic meter is equivalent to 1,000,000 cubic centimeters, and thus, 165,000 metric tonnes of gold would take up around 8,547 cubic meters or 8,547,000 cubic centimeters. To put it in perspective, 8,547 cubic meters is equivalent to around 300,000 cubic feet (if you put the gold in a solid cube shape). This is roughly a 66 foot cube. For perspective each side of the cube is around 3 ½ 1962 Cadillac Eldorados. Note: It’s important to remember that this is just an estimate based on the density of gold and it’s only a rough approximation. The space occupied can vary depending on the form of the gold and how it is stored.
