The Olympics of course is a much bigger expenditure than the World Cup, but really the money spent to get these event in this day and age are likely impossible to recoup.
It's really kind of insane for anyone to want to host these events, but again it comes down to the countries doing it trying to put up a show. Russia for example was trying to show the world they were back. Sort of their coming out party.
Lots of wasted money for a ego trip..
