It's all about the E-Peen effect, it gives you shiny points that make you feel good for putting forth the effort, or at least boasting about it. There is no technical award for prestige, but it may make you feel accomplished for doing it along with the fact that it forces you to try out different builds, characters, and playstyles, which many people would argue as a good experience to make you a better player. For instance, I'm not going all the way to ten, but so far I'm at prestige 7 and I wouldn't have discovered by favorite characters, builds, and styles without it.
