China News Service, September 24. According to Reuters, on the 24th local time, the director of the Nobel Foundation Lars Heikensten said that the prize money for Nobel Prize winners in 2020 will be increased to 10 million Swedish kronor.
According to Reuters, the Swedish financial newspaper "Daily Industry" reported that in 2020, the prize money of Nobel Prize winners will increase to 10 million Swedish kronor.
Affected by various factors, the amount of prize money for Nobel Prize winners has been constantly changing.
According to previous reports, the Nobel Prize's bonus comes from Alfred Nobel's estate investment income.
The total size of its heritage is about 1.8 billion Swedish krona at current prices.
Nobel wrote his will in 1895 one year before his death, mentioning that he hoped to use "safe securities" as an investment object.
But if according to Nobel's will, the funds may be exhausted by the 1950s.
Therefore, under the permission of the Swedish government, the Nobel Foundation also invested in real estate and stocks, and finally recovered the funds.
