This Man refused US$4 million for a ROCK
On his journey to mountain near Yemen's border a Saudi man called Saleh Musfer Al Gamdi found a little dark rock according to him, is the one mentioned in one verse of the Koran, where Allah sent Ababil birds to throw Sejil stones (pebbles of hell) to destroy an army led by Yemen's warlord Abraha just before the advent of Islam to knock down Kaaba in Makkah, now the Muslim's holiest shrine.
Later he was offered $4 million for the rock, which carries drawings of birds and elephants and weighs 131 grams, exactly the same number of words in the Koran verse that mentioned the stone. The stone was estimated to be of around 1442 years.He refused to sell that stone as he found it just one day after dreaming of his father and grandfather, yet another reason not to sell it.
The Rockers who wouldn't shave for US$1 million
Top front man Billy Gibbons and his band mate Dusty Hill were once made an offer of 1million $ but they refused that offer.
The Man Who Refused a US$250 million Job
We all know how important is job offer for all of us. We will surely be taking any kind of job if our salary is supposed to be as expected but this man refused to continue working for GLG, one of Europe's biggest hedge funds, despite the firm's offer of share options, cash, and other inducements worth a total of US$250 million in order to stay for another five years.
Greg Coffey has been a big name in London's secretive hedge fund business for several years, but it was a single career decision he made last year that gave the 38-year-old man from Sydney an international profile.Mr.Coffey, whose success has allowed him to amass a property portfolio worth
more than $40 million that includes a house in London, two waterfront mansions
in Sydney, a chalet in Switzerland and a farm outside London, is someone who
apparently can afford to reject a millionaire offer like this.
His confidence, bolstered by the $300 million he had earned the previous year,
made Mr. Coffey hopeful to set up his own hedge fund, but eventually he joined a
rival hedge fund manager, Moore Capital.The Preacher Who Refused Millions From The U.S. Government
A preacher from the well known Saddleback Community Church in California,
Rick Warren, declared that any Christian organization should reject government money if they claim to predicate the Gospel. He also assured the press that he himself has refused to accept millions of dollars that would be assigned by Bush and Obama's administration. The money was going to be directed to his worldwide work for the sake of social care performed by the church where he presides.
This Math Genious Turned Down a US$1 million Prize

Russian mathematician Grigori Perelman solved the seemingly unsolvable Poincaré conjecture, which was 100-year-old problem, to prove that any shape without a hole can be formed into a sphere. He is one of the world's smartest men, Perelman published 2 proofs of the theorem in 2002 and 2003. It took till seven years (2010) for a team of mathematicians to validate his results. The problem was one of the seven listed on the Cambridge, Massachusetts' Clay Mathematics Institute's Millennium Prize list.
"I'm not interested in money or fame," Perelman stated. "Emptiness is everywhere and it can be calculated, which gives us a great opportunity. I know how to control the universe. So tell me, why should I run for a million?" he told a local newspaper. The 45-year-old genius still resides humbly with his mother and sister in his hometown of St. Petersburg.
