This year's Nobel Prize is 6.5438+million Swedish kronor, which is about 6.5438+0.4 million US dollars. According to the original intention of Nobel Prize, the ideal amount of Nobel Prize should guarantee a professor to continue his research for 20 years without salary. According to the data released by the Nobel Prize official website, the amount of the Nobel Prize in 190 1 year is1508.72 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to the salary of a professor for 20 years at that time. Since then, the bonus amount has been shrinking, from14.184,700 SEK to14.135,800 SEK. Until 1923, the face value of the Nobel Prize amount dropped to the lowest in history, which was 1 14935 kronor. Since then, although the amount of the Nobel Prize has expanded year by year, it has not reached the level of 190 1 due to several devaluations of the Swedish krona. 1969 When the Nobel Prize in Economics was first awarded, the prize amount was 375,000 Swedish kronor. ?

In the long run, this means that the Nobel Foundation may invest a larger proportion of its assets in stocks, which will bring greater overall income and a richer Nobel Prize. Therefore, if the Nobel Foundation invests properly in the future, the Nobel Prize will go up. According to alfred nobel's last wish, only the direct income of the Nobel Foundation-interest and dividends-can be used for the Nobel Prize. Previously, the capital gains from stock operation could not be used for the Nobel Prize, but from June 5438+ 10 1 in 2000, the Nobel Foundation was approved to use the capital gains from asset sales for the Nobel Prize.

According to this new rule, the proceeds from the sale of Nobel Fund assets can also be used for awarding activities and paying various fees "until they are no longer needed to maintain long-term good awarding ability". 199 1 year, the Nobel Prize reached 6 million Swedish kronor, which is equivalent to the actual value when the Nobel Prize was awarded for the first time exceeding 190 1. Since then, the Nobel Prize has been increasing year by year, with16.5 million Swedish kronor in 1992 and16.7 million Swedish kronor in 1993.

In 2000, the five individual Nobel Prizes and the Nobel Prize in Economics reached 9 million Swedish kronor (US$ 654.38 +0 million), far exceeding the nominal price of the original fund and the actual value of the original prize. In 200 1 year, the centenary of the Nobel Prize was born, and the amount of the Nobel Prize reached100000 kronor, which has been maintained since then. In addition, the Nobel Foundation can also decide the share of assets invested in the stock market.
