There is something truly admirable about Grigory Perelman. According
to the article at:

http://www.boston.com/yourtown/cambridge/articles/2010/07/01/russian_mathematician_rejects_1_million_prize/

<<But the Interfax news agency quoted Perelman as saying he believed
the prize was unfair. Perelman told Interfax he considered his
contribution to solving the Poincare conjecture no greater than that
of Columbia University mathematician Richard Hamilton.

"To put it short, the main reason is my disagreement with the
organized mathematical community," Perelman, 43, told Interfax. "I
don't like their decisions, I consider them unjust.">>
