Think about it.

"I appreciate it for the work that I did, and for people who appreciate it, and I know there's a lot of physicists who use my work, I don't need anything else".

"I've already got the prize.The prize is in the pleasure of finding the thing out, the kick in the discovery, the observation that other people use it - those are the real things"

~ Richard Feynman talking about his Nobel Prize during an interview with the BBC Horizon programme in 1981.

Watch it and read transcripts here: The Pleasure of finding Things out

PS: I'm not sure if this media is available outside of the UK.Click the link and see if it shows anything.I hope you get to see it, it's a very interesting interview.
