Marie Curie is uniquely distinguished as the only individual to win Nobel Prizes in two different natural sciences: Physics in 1903 and Chemistry in 1911 for her work on radioactivity. Her daughter, Irene Joliot-Curie, also won a Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 with her husband Frederic for discovering artificial radioactivity. Albert Einstein promised his ex-wife Mileva Maric the money from any future Nobel Prize, which he fulfilled when he won in 1921. Despite his significant contributions to science, Einstein's theory of relativity was never recognized by a Nobel Prize due to its speculative nature. Contrary to popular belief, Alfred Nobel did not establish a mathematics prize because of jealousy but rather because he deemed it less directly beneficial for humanity than other fields.
