However, the Nobel Prize winners do receive a significant amount of money.
Here are the key points about the prize money:
* Each Nobel Prize winner receives 10 million Swedish kronor (SEK). This is roughly equivalent to $1 million USD at current exchange rates.
* The prize money is split equally between winners in the same category. So, if two people share the prize, they each receive 5 million SEK.
* The Nobel Prize money comes from the Nobel Foundation, which was established by Alfred Nobel's will.
* The money is not the main motivation for most Nobel Prize winners. They are honored to receive the recognition for their work and to contribute to the advancement of their fields.
It's important to note that this is just the monetary component of the Nobel Prize. Winners also receive a prestigious medal and a diploma, and they are invited to attend a ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden.
