I think I might compromise to work 70 hour weeks for $3m for one year. The trick is, you don't get to pick when that year happens, and there's actually a lot of build up to get to where you're worth $3m a year. There's a couple of Paul Graham essays with this as one of their themes:

I love the idea, but I don't think I'm good enough to pull it off, and I don't like the odds.
