At least the prestige is good. But, remember that old saying, oft paraphrased? "With the Clay Mathematics recognition and $1,000,000, I can get a cola..."
It's a saying--"With a PhD and a dollar, I can get a cup of coffee." "With a First Prize and five bucks, I can eat at McDonalds."--in other words, the honor/recognition doesn't really mean that much in the real world.
as the clay mathematics prize isn't readjusted by inflation rates, $1,000,000 will soon be worthless =P

Hello my fellow math geeks. My name is Mike and I am the creator

and entertain the geek in you. Beware though, there might be some
math involved :D
Did you actually solved the 'Clay problems'?
Oh wait, now I got it haha

Sorry, but can you explain what the paraphrase means?

I said nothing about food there. Only that you can eat--if you have the money...
