你知道一面諾貝爾獎的獎牌值多少?

與伙伴於1962年獲獎的James 發現雙圓錐形DNA構造

Last week at a much-talked-about auction, James Watson sold the Nobel Prize he won more than half a century ago for his work discovering the double-helix structure of DNA. The lot broke the record for any Nobel medal sold at auction when it fetched over $4.7 million, including the auction house’s premium, or commission. Little did people know, the buyer didn’t intend to keep it for long.

上因James出售該獎牌，售價破任何任何記錄，含拍賣佣金共售得4佰7拾萬美元，無人知道買主，買主並未打算持有很久。

Alisher Usmanov, the richest man in Russia according to Forbes, came forward Tuesday as the buyer, saying that he had purchased the medal in order to return it to Watson.

依富比士雜誌說，買主乃蘇俄最富有的人，他打算再還給得獎人。他認為James是發現DNA偉大的科學家。
