Grigori Perelman Why I chose him?

the prize "was completely irrelevant for me. Everybody understood that if the proof is correct then no other recognition is needed. "I do not like their decision, I consider it unfair," he said. "I consider that the American mathematician [Richard] Hamilton's contribution to the solution of the problem is no less than mine." Not interested in money. "I don't need anything, I have everything I need." Reclusive life He refuses fame & celebrity.
