Yep, $1M is not going to attract people to do things for you just because. The $50M+ people will have people flock to do small things for you for free.
I saw it with my old boss. People would always be asking if they needed help or would just offer free stuff in hopes of getting something later.
Correlation may not be causation though. Do people flock to him because he's rich, or is he rich because people flock to him? (or ... something in between?)
