Yeah, there has been recent stuff written about how much Einstein's first wife contributed to his work while getting zero credit.

She apparently knew the value of her work too because she had him agree to give her his Nobel Prize winnings as part of the divorce settlement. She got him to promise her this before he won.

She apparently recognized it was Nobel Prize worthy stuff and it seems she saw that as rightly "her" money.

Edited for clarity, typos.
