I know a guy in Norway who got the "statsstipendiat" fund which basically gives him a very decent salary for the rest of his life, no questions asked. All he need to do is just continue doing whatever he's doing, make art and so on.
That came as a big relief as he always struggled to make money, but it's still not a thing that a lot of people get.
