据全球新闻网报道:
The Nobel Peace Prize that Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov was auctioning off to raise money for Ukrainian child refugees sold Monday night for $103.5 million, shattering the old record for a Nobel.俄罗斯记者德米特里·穆拉托夫(Dmitry Muratov)为为乌克兰儿童难民筹集资金而拍卖的诺贝尔和平奖周一晚上以 1.035 亿美元的价格售出,打破了诺贝尔奖的旧纪录。
A spokesperson for Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale, could not confirm the identity of the buyer but said the winning bid was made by proxy. The $103.5 million sale translates to $100 million Swiss francs, hinting that the buyer is from overseas.负责此次拍卖的Heritage Auctions的一位发言人无法确认买家的身份,但表示中标是通过代理人进行的。 1.035 亿美元的销售额相当于 1 亿瑞士法郎,暗示买家来自海外。

Three years later, the family of his co-recipient, Francis Crick, received $2.27 million in bidding also run by Heritage Auctions.三年后,他的共同受益人弗朗西斯·克里克 (Francis Crick) 的家人收到了 227 万美元的竞标,该竞标也由 Heritage Auctions 运营。
姬评:没想到诺贝尔奖还能这么玩,实际上这是一个妥妥的带zhengzhi意味的举动,诺贝尔实锤成为了西方用来进行zhengzhi利用和宣传的工具,不必将它神话。奥巴马的诺贝尔和平奖实际更应该捐出来为乌克兰的儿童送上一些帮助。
