Milei, the first head of state to get the Genesis Prize, is also famously drawn to Judaism and says he intends to convert once he leaves office.

For the first time since its inauguration more than a decade ago, the prize dubbed the “Jewish Nobel” is going to a non-Jew: Javier Milei, the president of Argentina.

Milei’s selection marks another first for the Genesis Prize Foundation: the first prize given to a head of state, a departure for an award that has historically sought to sidestep politics.
