Grigori Perelman mathematician

Grigori Perelman resolved the Poincaré Conjecture, ending a century-long stalemate for one of math’s most notorious open questions. The Russian mathematician’s breakthrough secured the $1 million Millennium Prize, yet he turned down the payout entirely. He also spurned the Fields Medal, widely regarded as a top tier distinction in the discipline. His refusal of both the cash award and the prestigious honor remains a stark footnote in academic history
