All The Gold Ever Mined
From Visual Capitalist: "All of the world's gold ever mined would make up a cube 72 feet on a side. It it were all melted, it would fit within the confines of an Olympic-size swimming pool.
More (much!) here.

An Olympic sized swimming pool is 50 meters x 25 meters x 2 meters deep. That's 2500 meters volume.
Per the Visual Capitalist link above, a gold cube of all the gold ever mined is a 20.5 meter cube. 20.5 x 20.5 x 20.5 = 8615 meters volume.
Which is more than THREE Olympic sized pools.
