I'd take the money. With the right use of the money, I could do things that would result in a knighthood. And as a foreigner, my ability to accept some degrees is limited anyway

Knighthood. Although, I wouldn't get the title, 'Sir'. If I were to be bestowed with knighthood it would be due to an outstanding accomplishment. I did something that mattered, something that was important, and that touched others. A million dollars is just a million dollars. No real satisfaction can come from collecting money.

A knighthood would be great, if it was for something fairly outstanding. You could make a million a year just being on talk shows. You could write books full of nonsense and people would still be in awe at your wisdom.
Is the Queen of England so special? Almost half the world worships at her feet, just because she is royalty. Yet look at her income. But since you don't have any blue blood, you have to achieve something, even it it's being an pompous *** like Paul McCartney.

With those two choices there is only one answer for me. The money because I can do a lot of things for others. The knighthood is only a title. Maybe if I was british it would mean more.

The million dollars because I'm Canadian and would have to give up my citizenship to accept knighthood.

dollars, dollars dollars. I think I would refuse knighthood if it was offered anyway. It's shameful enough that I have to carry around a passport that proclaims I am under monarchical protection (Netherlands), I don't want to be humbled further by joining an order to serve that bizarre artifact of the past.

A million dollars. Some have both though, like Sir Elton John and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

The Million dollars. Because the million dollars can be used to make your life easier while being knighted is not actually going to make a difference to it. There's no Internation Knights Conference or w/e...u know. Plus, honestly, who cares ??

Being an American, knighthood would be as useful as teats on a boar hog.
