Would you refuse a million-dollar offer?

Internet celebrity and entrepreneur Jerome Jarre was offered a deal billions of people would think is a no-brainer: a million dollars to live and work in New York. But he rejected the offer. What would you do?

Here is the whole story, so you can decide if you agree with his decision or not. I don't :D

    I think it really depends on your situation and what prospects you may have lined up for the future. I for one would definitely give it some thought, as well as discuss it with my loved ones. I really don't know enough about Jerome's life situation to make a judgement if he made the right choice or not, but I will say that I agree with the fact that a lot of people wouldn't let such an offer pass.

    It depends. What's the contract say?

      I don't think there is much of a contract, I believe the only strings attached to the million is that you have to move to New York, and work there.

    Depends on the details I suppose. Generally, if you get an offer this straightforward, it's due to a larger wave of success. I doubt Mr. Jarre was choosing between a million dollars or nothing. I imagine that he has other projects he's working on and the new york move would have interfered with them.
