Do trust funds run out of money?
Yes, trust funds can run out of money; they can also last indefinitely, depending upon how they are managed and how they are set up. Nobel Prizes are paid for by a trust fund set up by Alfred Nobel; there is no expectation that the fund will run out and that the prizes will cease to be awarded. But funds have to be invested, and investments can do well or badly. And even if the money in a trust fund was invested wisely, that money can still be spent. For example, trust funds are often used to safeguard money for the benefit of people who are not yet adults and who cannot be trusted to spend their money wisely while they are still minors. But once they become adults (or when they reach whatever age is specified by the terms of the trust fund) they then have access to that money and can spend it. And if they can spend it, they can use it up. Of course, you could also devise a fund that only pays the interest on the fund, and never pays out the principal. That kind of fund can potentially last a long time, but again, only if the investment decisions are wise.

Why were the Nobel Prizes named after Alfred Nobel?
Eight years prior to his death, on 13 April 1888, Alfred Nobel read an obituary to himself. Although it was his brother Ludwig who had actually died, the obituary described Alfred Nobel's own achievements, believing it was he who had died. The obituary condemned Nobel for inventing dynamite, an explosive which caused the deaths of so many. It is said that this experience led Nobel to choose to leave a better legacy to the world after his death. Nobel regretted that his invention was used for such destructive purposes and methods (and made people have such a negative impression of him), that he willed that after his death, he would leave a much better legacy than during his life. So, he set up an award system, now called the Nobel Prize, so that when people do things that are extraordinarily beneficial to humans or who perform great actions to serve the human race and the world, that the most outstanding person would be awarded the prize. The prizes are given to "those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind." The prize is awarded every December 10th, in Stockholm, commemorating when Nobel died (to the date) and where he was born. Nobel died on 10 December 1896 at the age of 63.
Who was the Nobel Peace Prize named after?
Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin. I believe Tupac Shakur won it with these fellows as well. In this year Tupac was shot 5 times and survived and he was set up by his best friends Puff Daddy, Biggie, and Martin Luther King. However he did not retaliate, instead he made a song about love and peace and that is how he received the Nobel Peace Prize
