There is no prize money attached to an Academy Award (Oscar), and the statuette remains the property of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS). On occassion, the stattuettes have been sold from one collector to another. If these sales are made public, then the Academy can sue for the statuette. Steven Speilberg is known to have found Clark Gable's only Oscar for sale once. He purchased it and returned it to the Academy for safe keeping.
