- mturmon 12y agoThe Nobel Prize was endowed by Alfred Nobel. I had not read the story and the summary is fully worth reading: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel#Nobel_Prizes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_Nobel#Nobel_Prizes The Economics Nobel was not one of the original prizes, but it too was endowed, by the Bank of Sweden. Apparently the Bank also gives an annual contribution, approximately equal to the prize amount ($1M), to administer the prize.
