At 17.31 g/cm^3
70kg = 4 litres of gold, not taking into account the malachite layers.

Give or take a bit, the trophy is
"The trophy stands 36.5 centimetres (14.4 inches) tall and is made of 5 kg (11 lb) of 18 carat (75%) gold with a base (13 centimetres [5.1 inches] in diameter) containing two layers of malachite."
And imagine the amount of Irn Bru in a actual cup that size... admittedly it might corrode through the gold, but still...

It's not even a real cup :(
Anyway, FIFA say exactly how much of it is gold in that article.

Imagine if someone dropped it. All that soft gold... it would dent up a bitch.

hmm
density of gold 19.3 g/cm^3 (grams per cubic centimeter)
world cup is 36.5cm high, and the base has a diameter of 13cm
call it a cylinder so 3.14 x 6.5 x 6.5 x 36.5 (cross sectional areaxlength=volume)
x the density gives 93kg
the given weight of the world cup is 6.175kg

As the base is the widest point, that's probably about right.
It was just odd thinking that such a small thing could weigh more than a person.

metal is heavy
especially gold, the density of glass is something like 2.5g/cm^3
