The Nobel Peace Prize Medal Has Been Sold Before for Millions
AI Summary
Despite the Nobel Committee's rule against transferring the prize, Nobel medals have been sold at auction throughout history, fetching varying prices. In 2022, Dmitry Muratov's Nobel Peace Prize sold for a record $103.5 million to benefit Ukrainian child refugees, while James Watson's medal sold for over $4 million in 2014. The sales have sparked ethical debates, particularly after María Corina Machado offered to "share" her prize with Donald Trump. While some medals have garnered millions, others, like John Nash's and Kenneth Wilson's, sold for less or failed to meet minimum bids. The medals have been made of recycled gold since the 1980s.
