4hw.org: in the process of 2017 Nobel prize awarding, in addition to the highly concerned winners, the annual Nobel Prize is also highly concerned. Although the prize is not worth mentioning to the great winning anthropologists, the Nobel Prize is extremely rich. Do you know how much the 2017 Nobel Prize is? Many friends are also curious that the Nobel Prize has been awarded 100% Over the years, why can't the money be distributed? Let's take a look at the story behind the Nobel Prize!
The Nobel Prize is always awarded in Swedish currency SEK, and the annual amount of the prize depends on the investment income of the Nobel fund. When the first prize was awarded in 1901, the prize for each item was SEK 150000, which was equivalent to the salary of a professor in Sweden for 20 years.
In 1980, the single prize of Nobel Prize reached SEK 1 million, SEK 6 million in 1991, SEK 6.5 million in 1992, SEK 6.7 million in 1993, and SEK 9 million in 2000 (about US $1 million at that time).
From 2001 to 2011, the individual bonus was SEK 10 million (in 2011, about US $1.45 million).
The gold medal weighs about 270g and contains gold. The diameter of the medal is about 6.5cm. The obverse is a relief of Nobel. Different awards and medals have different designs on the back, and each certificate has different designs and words. The award ceremony is grand and simple, and the number of people attending each year is limited to 1500 to 1800; men must wear tuxedos or national costumes, and women must wear solemn evening gowns; the white and yellow flowers used in the ceremony must be airlifted from the Italian town of San Morey (where Nobel died).
Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences announced Thursday that it will award the 2015 Nobel Prize in chemistry to British scientists Thomas linddahl, American scientists Paul Modric and Aziz sandjar for their achievements in the field of gene repair. The three scientists will share a total of SEK 8 million (about US $900000). Therefore, the Nobel Prize in 2015 should be SEK 8 million.
At first, the Nobel Prize was awarded for the first time in 1901, according to Nobel's original wish: a professor's 20-year salary. But since then, the prize money began to shrink, until 1991, the amount of Nobel Prize soared to 6 million Swiss francs. Since then, it has risen year after year, to 10 million Swiss francs by 2001, and maintained until 2011. Although the Nobel Foundation did not invest well in 2011, its total assets still reached 2.86 billion Swiss francs, 92 times of that at the beginning of its establishment.
Why hasn't the golden hair been used up in 114 years?
At first, Nobel's legacy was only 31 million Swiss francs. In the 114 years since 1901, the total amount of Nobel Prize prizes has been far more than Nobel's legacy. Why can there be money to pay the prize? The reason why Nobel Prize can continue to be paid is due to investment and financial management.

More than 30 million Swiss francs have not been used up in 114 years, and their value has increased 92 times. Why can't Nobel Prize always be given out? Because of investment and financial management, it's not only not spent, but also the amount of bonus keeps rising. Nobel Prize relies on the income of investment and financing to continue to execute Nobel's will. The outstanding performance of financial experts also continues Nobel's dream.
The Nobel Foundation's money has been invested in government bonds, real estate and the stock market. However, financial management cannot always be smooth sailing.
In 2011, due to the sluggish global stock market, the Nobel Foundation lost more than 19 million Swiss francs in stock investment. As a result, the amount of each prize in the Nobel Prize has also been reduced from CHF 10 million to CHF 8 million.
