Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics

The Breakthrough Prize in Mathematics is an annual award of the Breakthrough Prize series announced in 2013.

Motivation
The founders of the prize have stated that they want to help scientists to be perceived as celebrities again, and to reverse a 50-year "downward trend". They hope that this may make "more young students aspire to be scientists". ==Laureates==
