According to Stefan Ballmer, who helped build the Advanced LIGO detectors, the amount of gold produced by this one collision rivals the mass of our Moon:

"If you’re wondering how much the gold we saw being made is worth? About $10 octillion— $10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000—at today’s prices."

For those of you wondering, that's approximately 1046 atoms of gold, or ten quadrillion times as much as we've mined in all of human history.
