Lucre - One Christian Woman's Refusal of a Million Dollar Offer

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. Matthew 6:24 NIV

Following her divorce (post 1949) from Prince Aly, American Film star Rita Hayworth was offered $1,000,000.00 by the Prince to allow their son to be raised as a Muslim. Rita refused.

In terms of 2024 dollars, that sum that was offered in 1949-50 would be worth $12,640,000.00.

If a similiar offer was made ($12M) to today's "religious" folks, I wonder how many would turn it down like Rita did. Probably not many. Lucre can that effect even upon the best of us.

* Rita died of Alzheimer's disease at age 68 on 5/14/1987.
