After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However,
he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be
remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he
created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worldwide
contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry,
medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first
awarded ceremony.

sum is used for the awards which vary from 30.000 dollars to 125.000 dollars.
