Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is this year’s winner of the $1 million Berggruen Prize for her work in philosophy and culture - and the pop-culture action hero intends to pay the entire lump-sum forward.

The 86-year-old was announced as the winner by the Los Angeles-based Berggruen Institute on Wednesday, citing Ginsburg’s pioneering legal work for gender equality and her support for the rule of law.

The institute says Ginsburg will donate all of the money to charity, but an exact recipient of the sum has not yet been confirmed.

Ginsburg has been severing on the Supreme Court since 1993 and is the oldest among the nine appointed justices. She maintains an active public speaking schedule that took her to the San Francisco Bay Area earlier this week.

She’s a nominee for the Frankenstein reanimation award.

But she may not when because other undead creatures like Cher and Madonna are showing more life.

Ideas for a Changing World

We live in a time of great transformations. From capitalism, to democracy, to the global order, our institutions are faltering. The very meaning of the human is fragmenting.

The Berggruen Institute was established in 2010 to develop foundational ideas about how to reshape political and social institutions in the face of these great transformations. We work across cultures, disciplines and political boundaries, engaging great thinkers to develop and promote long-term answers to the biggest challenges of the 21st Century.
