About 11 million SEK
The money still comes from the fortune of Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, whose will shocked his relatives by leaving nearly everything to the prizes.
How to estimate it
The Nobel Prize is famous for being worth about a million dollars, and that is the anchor. A US dollar buys between 10 and 11 Swedish kronor in the mid 2020s. 1,000,000 × 10.5 = 10.5 million kronor. The Nobel Foundation adjusts the amount according to its finances, and it currently stands at 11 million SEK per full prize.
