I dont care about famous. But being rich would be nice
by Anonymous1 week ago
But in cases like these, the fame caused the wealth. Its a lot easier to command higher pay when you're a hot brand and irreplaceable. If you just did great work behind the scenes, it doesn't help much, because plenty of people can do work of similar quality. Really, riches are acquired by entrepreneurialism if you're not just inhereting the wealth. Its very difficult to acquire that wealth by just doing a job -- actors and athletes turn the typical paradigm of how wealth is acquired on its head.

Beyonce specifically seems to enjoy hanging out in places like Ireland and Japan because those cultures make it less likely you'll get mobbed on the street.

George Clooney said something along the lines of "it's been 20 years since I've walked through Central Park." That one really hit. When you get to that level of fame, your life isn't your own anymore.

Even just being rich and not famous you might still need security, maybe not for having a couple million in net worth but once you get into the 10s and especially 100s of millions. I don't think it'd be that bad, but being rich would definitely trump being famous. Fame is a way to leverage becoming more rich like Ryan Reynolds using his platform to promote his products and rake in the cash. It's usually not you personally telling people no either, if I was famous, I'd have people for that

Celebrity worship has never been higher than now. So many Folk need to worship something, and the choices aren't great.

Everybody will say it's tough being famous but nobody would say they want to go back to their old life

Because of the money, not the fame itself.

that still means they wouldn't wanna go back to their old life?

"Bassist famous is nice." Never heard it called that, but that term is perfect. It would actually be fun to be recognizable or underground famous. People know who you are, but nobody is going to hide in the bushes outside your house or start screaming and chasing you in public.

I think you forget you can be "mega" famous and still lead a normal life. People are famous and are still able to live good lives. What they do different is not attract attention or live in a city filled with famous people. A lot of celebraties will actively contact press to let them know where they are. Of course in cases, it does get rough for people and they cant handle it, but it is usually something else thats also going on like mental issues or being a total AH. Being famous does give you a lot of advantages which is why people aspire it.

I'd like to be the 10-15th best golfer on the planet. Plenty of income, nice working conditions, the vast majority of the world has no clue as to who you are.
