If you had to choose one or the other, would you rather be rich or famous? Why?

Rich, largely because I like being anonymous in the grand scheme of things.

Rich, no doubt. Fame comes with pressure, money gives you freedom.

Definitely not famous. Even if the choice was not rich or famous. Just seeing the inescapable spotlight that famous people are in makes me a little anxious.

The only reason I'd ever want to be famous is to be rich. I see zero other upside to fame.

Rich Being famous sounds awful I hate running into people from high school at the grocery store I couldn't imagine having swarms of people that you don't even know trying to get your attention Rich I'd be able to do what I want, to be able to mostly fly under the radar.

Rich. I'm a very private person and have never enjoyed being the center of attention.

rich. fame sounds like getting paid in exchange for strangers developing very confident opinions about your face lol

I'lld choose rich over and over again

Rich. I have no desire to be famous. I'd hate the publicity and the potential stalkers and whatever else comes with it. I need money to live and there's so much I could do with it.

Rich, only because I like being anonymous. I don't want to be particularly rich either, but rich and still having privacy is preferable to not being rich and everyone knowing who I am and having dumb opinions about my personal life.

Much rather be rich and able to choose what projects I want to undertake. Famous means constant scrutiny and demands from others, the requirement to maintain an image, and the risk of your life being ruined by a careless remark.

I hear a consensus forming…now, is it possible to be secretly very wealthy? Wouldn’t you eventually give your money to charity, or buy assets, that would eventually lead to fame?

rich. i really hate the idea of being famous. of people knowing everything about me, reading into everything i say, having no real privacy. i’m good on that. i’d rather have lots of money and peace.

Rich.... obviously.

Rich. Being famous would mean you have no private life, all that attention would probably be draining

I would never want to be famous. Would love to be rich

Quietly, secretly rich, where no one knows you're wealthy. I would consider being famous a curse and torture on Earth.

Famous Fame is a generative asset while wealth is a stored one, Fame can lead to wealth much easier than wealth can lead to fame. That's because wealth is not a measurement of future success it's just a measurement of past success; however, fame is different in that it is more enduring. That's because wealth, if removed, just returns you to normalcy (or even poverty) which is not necessarily profitable again; however, lost Fame generally results in infamy which can also be profitable in its own right.

Rich with no fame please. Not to be rich or achieve some quota but just to spend it “-“

Anonymous and rich without a doubt.

Famous but in a foreign country

My god I would pay to NOT be famous. Thank goodness I already have that free

Rich. I value my privacy.

I can use money to pay for my needs and luxury products/experiences. I don't know what I could even do with fame besides leverage it to become rich.

To be one or the other would be the same thing wouldn't it

Seriously? Definitely rich and not known by anybody.

Rich, don't want people around me all the time

I wanna be rich without fame, Fame is king Baal,

Rich because i could pay a few debts, pay off some I don't trust people but i trust you debts and helping people out....

I guess on a forum like Listnook, I should expect that people want to be anonymous!

Rich, for sure. I feel like being famous means losing your privacy. Even small behaviors can have a huge impact. But being rich is different. You can still have your own life, buy what you want, and even say things you probably shouldn’t, but no one cares about you.

Rich, being famous makes you vulnerable. Everyone will be on my business and I don't tolerate criticism.
