After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its
universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite,
so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people
who had made worldwide contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics,
chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awarded ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used
for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.
