This story is hilarious:  http://entertainment.time.com/2013/10/21/billionaire-reportedly-paid-guy-fieri-100000-to-be-his-friend/?xid=gonewsedit&google_editors_picks=true

true or not true?

So, I think that the title of this article is misleading.  Cohen hired Fieri to "come to Connecticut and reenact an episode of his hit show with Cohen riding shotgun."  While we can discuss the merits of doing something like that, Cohen got something out of it (experience of filming a food show, video of him doing so), he simply didn't hire Fieri to hang out with him all day.

With all of that being said, I am pretty sure that I would take the $100,000 if I was Fieri.  It may seem ridiculous, but $100,000 is still a lot of money.
