No it was funded by Swedens central Bank. They provide to money for the prize to the Nobel foundation. Step it up if you want to be pedantic please.

1. It was set up during the Central bank's 300-year anniversary.

2. Without the central banks establishment of the perpetual funding there's no prize. Your argument is purely semantic and ofc snarky like your entire comment history.

3. You can read the story about it here in Swedish: https://sidea.se/nobelkuppen/ (The Nobel coup)
