Million Dollar
Nobel Foundation was established in 1900 as a private, independent non-governmental organization, with an initial capital of 31.6 million SEK (at current prices, this amount is equivalent to approximately 1.65 billion kroons).
Prize laureates were paid from the interest on securities transactions.
