After inventing dynamite, Swedish born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late.

Originally there were five awards: literature physics, chemistry, medicine and peace.Economics was added in 1968, just sixty -seven years after the first awards ceremony. Nobel's original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary (chuyên đối. thay đôi) from 30.000 to 125.000 Every year on December 10th , the anniversary of Nobel's death, the awards (gold medal , illuminated diploma ,and money) are presented to the winners.
