Manne Siegbahn, a renowned physicist from Sweden, is estimated to have a net worth ranging from $100,000 to $1 million in 2024. Recognized for his contributions to the field of physics, Siegbahn has made significant advancements in numerous areas of study. Known for his groundbreaking work on X-ray spectroscopy, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1924, Siegbahn is regarded as one of the pioneers in the field. With his exceptional intellect and innovative research, it is no surprise that his net worth reflects his successful career as a prominent physicist.
Siegbahn was born in Örebro, Sweden, and his parents was Georg Siegbahn and Emma Zetterberg. He graduated in Stockholm 1906 and begun his studies at Lund University the same year. During his education he was amanuensis for Johannes Rydberg. In 1908 he studied at the University of Göttingen. He obtained his Ph.D. at the Lund University in 1911, his thesis was titled Magnetische Feldmessungen (magnetic field measurements). He became acting professor for Rydberg when his health was failing, and succeeded him as full professor in 1920. However, in 1922 he left Lund for a professorship at the Uppsala University.
Siegbahn married Karin Högbom in 1914. They had two children: Bo Siegbahn (1915–2008), a diplomat and Politician, and Kai Siegbahn (1918–2007), a Physicist who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1981 for his contribution to the development of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
Siegbahn was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1924. He won the Hughes Medal 1934 and Rumford Medal 1940. In 1944, he patented the Siegbahn pump. Siegbahn was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society (ForMemRS) in 1954.
In 1937, Siegbahn was appointed Director of the Physics Department of the Nobel Institute of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. In 1988 this was renamed the Manne Siegbahn Institute (MSI). The institute research groups have been reorganized since, but the name lives on in the Manne Siegbahn Laboratory hosted by Stockholm University.
