Would you rather be rich or famous?

[NMMNG]

Would you rather be filthy rich or incredibly famous? "Both" is not an option here--you must choose one or the other (and no answers of "if I were super-famous I'd be rich anyway").

1. You could do more good with fame....Soros has the money covered...

[LeftyMom]

2. I'm not cut out for fame, I'm too much of a homebody

I guess I could do a lot of good with more money, I certainly can't imagine spending much on myself.

3. I like my privacy

I'd rather be rich.

10. I've got to agree with you there.

[KitchenWitch]

4. Rich

I would help rebuild homes in the Gulf Coast with my money.

[MrScorpio]

5. Between the two, rich is better and rarer

Anybody can be (in)famous

[JohnnyCougar]

6. Money is money. Fame is priceless.

IMHO

7. My dear Buffy.....

I'd much rather be rich......and anonymous!

That is hard to accomplish, though......

Money usually brings fame, whether you want it or not....

8. I have absolutely no interest in being "famous."

I'm a very private person and I hate crowds. :hide:

9. Famous

I don't care anything about having much money 'cause there's not that much that I want. If I were famous (even if I were just famous for being famous) I could at least try to make the world adore my "charming" personality. haha

11. I'd rather be famous.

If you're famous, you still get to be famous after you die.

If you're rich, you're just dead.

12. Define 'rich'.

There's no way at all that I'd want to be famous - but if we're really talking super-hyper-ultra-rich then I wouldn't like that at all either (though fame would still be worse). If we're talking more about having enough money to stop working, live comfortably, travel a bit, do some volunteer work and the like then I would be very keen.

13. However rich you want to be

It's totally up to you.

[Err]

14. I'd rather be rich.

Fuck fame. :)

15. Money can't buy happiness

but it sure helps a lot!

I have always wanted to be famous, but truth is, if you have money and are famous, you get targeted more by con artists if you are. And plus you have to think about all those pretend friends who want to be next to you because of your money. So it's better to keep the real friends you have, have a stack of money and live, while not quite anonymously (no more so than before you had money, at least with a real perspective on life.

16. rich of course, don't want to be famous at all

[Callalily]

17. Oh by all means rich . . .

I'm a low key person anyway and hate to draw attention to myself, so the famous part is not too appealing. And . . . if I were rich, I would be able to help a lot more people than I am able to right now.

[RebelOne]

18. I'll take money over fame any time.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. Neither....I like my life as middle of the road...Well,not famous in the

least. Except for being the mom who picked up her daughter from the school dance in doggie pajamas. :hi:
