> Not everyone is motivated by success. Grigori Perelman?

I don't see how he wasn't motivated by success. He wasn't solving recreational math puzzles.

True, his definition of success didn't include money or prestigious prizes. Still, proving a great and long-standing theorem is a way greater accomplishment than becoming a millionaire.
