Prize status records whether a conjecture carries a formal reward for solving it. Wikipedia notes "the Clay Mathematics Institute, having included the Poincare conjecture in their well-known Millennium Prize Problem list, offered Perelman their prize of US$1 million in 2010," which he then declined. This dimension separates conjectures with a standing prize from those pursued for reputation alone.
