Perelman refused the Fields Medal (and the million dollar millenium prize) because he is an idealist in the highest degree, a genius without a sense of entitlement. It took 18 man-years just for experts to verify his proof... and no errors were found. The work was so compact and advanced that they were often forced to consult Perelman himself for clarification, after which they would inevitably realize the original wording was more or less the most concise and accurate possible.

Put it this way ... someone has to work at McDonald's ... someone has to drive the taxies ... someone has to mow lawns ... take out the garbage ... those 8 million views are those people.
