      the fucking Nobel Prize?!

      No, the Ig Nobel Prize:

      The Ig Nobel Prize monetary award is given in a solitary banknote for the amount of 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($0.40 USD)

          The actual worth of the prize could be the publicity, to stand out and be recognizer as a scientist in a flood of publications. I’m just guessing.
