Would you rather make $200k doing nothing or take a job that pays $500k

It depends on the job and what the source of the $200 K would be.  The difference between $200 K and $500 K is relatively less important. It can be socially awkward having money and not having a job, but that's not worth a soul sucking career.
Can I work part time at the $500 K job and make half as much?

I forgot to mention something important (facepalm)

If you chose option 1, you can't have a job. If you get a job (even if it's a menial one), then you don't qualify for the $200K a year anymore. Much like how if you chose option 2, you don't get you're $500K a year salary if you quit your job for something else. Not having a job is basically your job in option 1. Volunteering is ok though.

I'm glad that rule is in effect, wouldn't want to actually do something stupid like get a job when I'm getting 200k a year for doing nothing. I could tear up my resume, delete it from my computer, never worry about something evil like 'work' again.

Only greedy millionaires (like Mitt Romney, who never would have had to work a day in his life but instead chose to work hard to destroy jobs and chop up companies for his own profit) would choose to work. And only greedy people with boring lives would choose option 2.

I'm guessing you haven't read this thread or bothered to look at the poll results? People have given several reasons in this thread why that is not the case.
