There are three.

Millenium Prize is worth 4 or 5 field medals at least. P=NP is worth over 100

Six-star general in the U.S army. This one is only vaguely scientific but still almost impossible to achieve.

You're retarded because you have to be under 35 to win a field's medal, and it's impossible to be a six-star general since George Washington was posthumously promoted to the rank so no one can outrank him.

Getting a medal of honor is a pretty serious thing though, and you'll certainly have a more lavish funeral than any meme scientist

Richard Dawkins Award
>The award is named after Richard Dawkins, an English evolutionary biologist who was named the world's top thinker in 2013.[2] The award is given out to individuals that raised public consciousness of atheism in the past year.

It's basically the highest award you can receive as a thinker, and it contributes to the end of dogmatic religious thinking that is poisoning the scientific community.
