The Nobel Peace Prize comes with a monetary award, but the amount can vary each year. In 2009, when Barack Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize, the award included a cash prize of 10 million Swedish kronor, which was approximately $1.4 million at the time.

While the motivations behind political criticism are wide ranging, the reasons given for the criticism surrounding the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama is the relatively short duration he has been president and the short time between the end of the nomination process and his official assumption of the office of president. The post mark deadline for the nominations was February 1, just 12 days after he took office. The argument made by some in the media is that his selection was premature, and therefore lacks some validity.

The Nobel Committee has defended their selection, saying that few have done what Obama has done in furthering cooperation among peoples and extending diplomatic relations, and that they want to promote and encourage this. They have stated that they believe that the spirit of the award is best served by bringing international attention to Obama, but with a focus on the hope and promise he offers rather than just past work. They believe that this attention and prestige will help him further the cause of world peace.
