According to his will, Alfred Nobel's
enormous fortune was to be used to establish
prizes to award those who had done their best
to benefit mankind in the fields of physics,
chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. The
first Nobel Prizes were awarded in 1901, five
years after Nobel's death.

In 2009, the monetary award was 10 million SEK
(US$1.4 million).

been presented to the Laureates at ceremonies.
