Born on 14 March 1879, in Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany, Albert Einstein, of Jewish descent, is hailed as one of history’s most renowned scientists. His groundbreaking work on the formula E=mc2, focused on mass-energy equivalence, and his development of the theory of relativity have collectively propelled multiple advancements in physics. Additionally, Einstein played a significant role in spurring the inception of the Manhattan Project, in response to developments in World War 2. These contributions substantially boosted his overall wealth.
Albert Einstein’s net worth, assessed around the early months of 2016, is estimated at $1 million, predominantly amassed through his scientific achievements. As a Nobel Prize winner, Einstein published over 300 papers on his scientific work while also contributing around 150 papers on non-scientific subjects. His unyielding pursuit of knowledge significantly contributed to his financial success.
Following the financial failure of his father’s business, Einstein and his family relocated to Milan and later to Pavia, Italy. In 1895, he attempted entrance exams at the Swiss Federal Polytechnic, where, despite not meeting the required standards (except in physics and math), he was admitted to the Argovian cantonal school. At 17, Einstein enrolled in a math and physics teaching program, completing it by 1900, while simultaneously renouncing his German citizenship to avoid mandatory service in the German army. Initially unable to secure a teaching position after graduation, Einstein found employment at a patent office in Bern. His work at the office involved assessing patents related to electrical and mechanical machines, fueling his scientific and philosophical thoughts. Concurrently, Einstein began gaining recognition in academia through his published works. In 1905, he obtained his PhD from the University of Zurich, based on his thesis titled “A New Determination of Molecular Dimensions.”
Einstein continued his scientific pursuits, publishing papers on diverse subjects that propelled him to prominence by the age of 26. By 1911, he became a full professor and obtained Austrian citizenship. He furthered his teaching and publications, eventually returning to Germany to head various physics and science institutions. His groundbreaking work on a new theory of relativity, proven in 1919, culminated in the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics.
