The Nobel Peace Prize that Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov was auctioning off to raise money for Ukrainian child refugees sold Monday night for USD 103.5 million, shattering the old record for a Nobel.
Previously, the most ever paid for a Nobel Prize medal was in 2014, when James Watson, whose co-discovery of the structure of DNA earned him a Nobel Prize in 1962, sold his medal for USD4.76 million.
Three years later, the family of his co-recipient, Francis Crick, received USD 2.27 million in bidding run by Heritage Auctions, the same company that auctioned off Muratov's medal Monday, on World Refugee Day.
Muratov, who was awarded the gold medal in October 2021, helped found the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and was the publication's editor-in-chief when it shut down in March amid the Kremlin's clampdown on journalists and public dissent in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It was Muratov's idea to auction off his prize, having already announced he was donating the accompanying USD 500,000 cash award to charity. The idea of the donation, he said, “is to give the children refugees a chance for a future.” Muratov has said the proceeds will go directly to UNICEF in its efforts to help children displaced by the war in Ukraine.
Melted down, the 175 grams of 23-karat gold contained in Muratov's medal would be worth about USD 10,000.
In an interview with The Associated Press before the auction, Muratov said he was particularly concerned about children who have been orphaned because of the conflict in Ukraine.
“We want to return their future," he said.
He added that it's important international sanctions levied against Russia do not prevent humanitarian aid, such as medicine for rare diseases and bone marrow transplants, from reaching those in need.
“It has to become a beginning of a flash mob as an example to follow so people auction their valuable possessions to help Ukrainians,” Muratov said in a video released by Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale but is not taking any share of the proceeds.
Muratov shared the Nobel Peace Prize last year with journalist Maria Ressa of the Philippines.
The two journalists, who each received their own medals, were honoured for their battles to preserve free speech in their respective countries, despite coming under attack by harassment, their governments and even death threats.
Muratov has been highly critical of Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea and the war launched in February that has caused nearly 5 million Ukrainians to flee to other countries for safety, creating the largest humanitarian crisis in Europe since World War II.
Independent journalists in Russia have come under scrutiny by the Kremlin, if not outright targets of the government. Since Putin came into power more than two decades ago, nearly two dozen journalists have been killed, including at least four who had worked for Muratov's newspaper.
In April, Muratov said he was attacked with red paint while aboard a Russian train.
Muratov left Russia for Western Europe on Thursday to begin his trip to New York City, where live bidding will begin Monday afternoon.
Online bids began June 1 to coincide with the International Children's Day observance.
As of early Monday, the high bid was USD 550,000. The purchase price had been expected to spiral upward, but perhaps not over USD 100 million.
“It's a very bespoke deal,” said Joshua Benesh, the chief strategy officer for Heritage Auctions. “Not everyone in the world has a Nobel Prize to auction and not every day of the week that there's a Nobel Prize crossing the auction block.” Since its inception in 1901, there have been nearly 1,000 recipients of the Nobel Prizes honouring achievements in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and the advancement of peace.
The ongoing war and international humanitarian efforts to alleviate the suffering of those affected in Ukraine are bound to stoke interest, Benesh said, adding it's hard to predict how much someone would be willing to pay for the medal.
“I think there's certainly going to be some excitement Monday,” Benesh said. “It's it's such a unique item being sold under unique circumstances ... a significant act of generosity, and such a significant humanitarian crisis.” Muratov and Heritage officials said even those out of the bidding can still help by donating directly to UNICEF.

A seven-year-old Ukrainian figure skater has returned to the ice in the UK after fleeing the war in his country.
Gosha Mandziuk, who now lives in Bristol with his mother Iryna, has competed nationally and was also part of an ice hockey team in Ukraine.
Gosha's mother Iryna told British broadcaster Sky News that skating is Gosha's "biggest passion" and that he wants to keep up his training regime while he's in Britain.
But the cost of coaching and having somewhere to train is considerably higher in the UK, she said.
"Now it is minimum five times more expensive and it's not affordable at the moment," she told Sky.
Gosha and his mother arrived in the UK last month and have been staying with host Caroline Drugan and her family.
Drugan said the "perilous journey" Gosha's father made back to Kyiv just to get his skating equipment showed how important it was to them as a family.

Caught in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, these orphans have been given safe haven by Scotland

Dozens of Ukrainian orphans and their carers were due to fly from Poland to the UK on Monday - but they're still stuck in Poland because of missing documentation.
The 46 youngsters are from orphanages in and around the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.
Their journey was organized by a Scottish charity called Dnipro Kids, which was set up by supporters of Hibernian Football Club in the Scottish capital Edinburgh.
The flight was set to depart from Warsaw bound for London, and from there to Scotland.
Missing paperwork from the Ukrainian authorities, however, has left them stuck in a Warsaw hotel until the matter can be cleared up.
The important industrial city of Dnipro, in eastern Ukraine, has been the target of Russian airstrikes.
The British government has supported the effort to bring the orphans to safety.
UK Home Secretary Priti Patel said last week that the British authorities were working with Poland and Ukraine "to ensure the children's swift arrival to the UK."
The children, who come from several orphanages in the Dnipro region, were brought to Lviv and then to Poland, where they have been waiting for two weeks to fly to the UK.
