He has done his contribution to humanity and solved a very difficut mathematical problem. Now he can do qs he pleases

It is not accurate since he refused cuz a man from japan says he solve it first. At first they thought he copy the demonstration so he was blame of cheating. He get sick from the scientist community and leave everything behind. The refuse of the prize is a call for his integrity. He is in fact the greatest man on earth.

The force is strong in this guy like

He didn't want to use his mind to harm other humans. Everything is mathematics and he didn't want his conscience to marred with the burden of guilt.

The difference between him and, say, Cédric Villani is that CV sees his role as a spokesman and promoter of math, while GP is not taking on the role. Sure, some "famous" scientists get wrapped up in the fame and money, but most just see themselves as people who address the public. Einstein and von Neumann didn't ham it up, rather, were as helpful as possible in explaining their work.

Although I greatly respect his decision to refuse the accolades, etc....the mathematician in me is saddened that he abandoned all future endeavors in the discipline. Imagine just what else he could have contributed in new areas for up & coming fellow peers to delve into....we'll never know. I liken him to another great Soviet mathematician, Alexander Grothendieck who sadly went the route of self-imposed isolation despite his level of brilliance in the field. Despite it all, they are both giants in the mathematics pantheon of rare geniuses & worthy of admiration! 🤔

Interesting man.

You can be a genius and be mentally at the same time.

You got most of this wrong or confused. There are a set of millennial prizes for math problems that had not been solved. All have a $1 million dollar purse. Perelman solved one of these and composed many other math theorems of the most difficult nature. He won the Fields medal which comes with about the same prize and turned that down. The Fields is the Nobel Prize times 4. He has always had difficulty in relationships and lived with his mother in Moscow until middle age. If he is homeless it's his choice, he could go to any top university and get a few hundred thousand a year. Just has to ask.
