Wink If you had to choose, would you rather be rich or famous?

I Was Looking For A List Good Questions To Ask People, As I Was Browsing aound One Particular Question Poped Out At Me.

If you had to choose, would you rather be rich or famous?

Personally I'd Rather Be Rich Then Famous, As I'm No The Most Outgoing Guy You'll Ever Meet

But Most Of My Friends And My Sister Of All People Say They'd Rather Be Famous

So I Ask You BHW Which Would You Rather Be? Rich Or Famous?

Oh And Here's A Link To The Original List Of Questions, Enjoy

'...I would have said the two go hand-in-hand, but then thought about it.

You can be very rich and yet remain known only to a small group of people where your riches are made or come from.

I have never been a fame-freak and would certainly not want fame for fame's sake like so many talentless performers nowadays.

So I guess it has to be rich, otherwise I would be famous for being poor, and who the hell wants that?...lol'

No question about it, rich. I do not want to be famous.

Fame sucks.

Rich, and no one has to know about it but me.

Famous has people hunting you down. No privacy.

Rich, I can live how ever I want to. I can have all the privacy I want and buy my own island.

Famous does not always mean you are rich. Lot's of famous people blow their wad and are left poor and famous.

Most rich people are not famous (like business men). The people who are "rich and famous" is a small minority of rich people. Also there are some people who is "famous" but is poor. (like those actors/singers who are one-time hit "wonders")

I would rather be rich and enjoy my life than famous. I don't need stalkers following me.
Anyway once you're rich you can always pay your way to fame if you want it so bad (A example is Paris Hilton)

I don't find Paris Hilton "hot", I think she has the looks of a ordinary-looking girl that just happens to be decorated with make-up, money, and jewelry. If those 3 things are taken away I doubt there would be as many people saying she's hot.

I don't think i'd ever want to be famous on my actual name. If anything i'd be an alias like "The Edge" or "The Rock" or "The Blob". The prefix 'The' would be mandatory and essential for my fame.
