Nobel Prize Cash & Philanthropy
Rosalyn Yalow deposited her Nobel Prize money of $74,500 in the bank for she did not want anything at that time. Not having been given anything on a silver plate, she had worked very hard to attend college and graduate school because she wanted to attend the same. She stated that that was the real key to happiness.
