When Hillary heard about the amount of loot, plus gold it was worth, she promised a kick-back in U.S. taxpayer money to the 70 Laureates when she is POTUS.

Here’s How Much Nobel Prize Winners Get

It really does pay to be smart.

The Nobel Prize is about more than just prestige. Winners of the international award, which has been around since 1901, also receive an 18-karat gold medal and a check of nearly $1 million.

The prize money can be traced back to the award’s creator and the inventor of dynamite, Alfred Nobel, who stipulated that his estate (worth $197.4 million today) would continue to accrue in value by investing in “safe securities” back in 1895. It would then be awarded annually to prize winners.

In 2016, the Nobel Foundation decided that each prize would include roughly 8 million Swedish Krona, or $923,179.20. The gold medals also carry a hefty price tag. Two earlier Nobel winners have sold their metals, fetching $765,002 and $4.7 million in auctions.

While each Nobel laureate receives his or her own gold medal, if one prize has multiple winners, the cash reward is split.
