I would rather by known by millions because the connections are priceless and the opportunities could be much more than one million dollars.

I'd rather have million dollars. after all, I would come into millions of people's notice, once I get million dollars all of a sudden. and even if I don't it won't matter much coz. I still have MILLION DOLLARS with me.

I would take the Million dollars and pay off my mortgage. A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush...., although...., it really depends whose bush ;)

I'd take the million. I don't particularly care is a million persons know me.

Although being known by millions would have benefits, owning one million dollars is much more exciting because most of it would be invested into stocks and creating a new business while the leftovers would be used as leisure.

Give me the money. If i really wanted to 'be known' by millions of people I could spend 100k on a personal publicity effort and still pay off my mortgage and have some extra spending money with what's left.

I mean, it's not like you could be close personal friends with millions of people. Who cares if they know of me?

I would rather have one million dollars and remain a recluse. Don't worry....I will be happy.
