Is being rich and famous worth it?

Define "worth it"?
If your goal is to be rich and famous, then yea, I suppose it is.
Some people crave the attention.
If it is "I want to be rich and famous but have no one pay attention to me" then too bad.

I can't see the applicability of this question because my life is so colossally boring to anyone but me that I can't imagine any paparazzi following me even if I were suddenly to become rich and thus famous. Who wants to follow a fat white woman to the grocery store and watch her picking out green peppers and cans of soup? If they actually managed to corner me in the shower and get a picture of me without my blouse on the subsequent issue of their paper would probably be banned as a public health risk. Either that, or hospitals would start using it to induce vomiting when some idiot has downed a bottle of sleeping pills.uberpoi said:
Having fame can have its problems, but so can wealth. I really believe that conflict drives our existence. For most people the conflict is making enough money to survive. Take that away and you need to find conflict in other things.
Why dont we mention power? You dont necessarily need to be rich or famous to have power and thats another thing some people look for.

Is it because they're rich and famous or because they go out and get drunk in public and sleep with strangers and get strung out on drugs and the paparazzi know that they can make big money selling the pictures to tabloids?uberpoi said:
I know a number of wealthy people of moderate fame and they never have this kind of problem because they live quiet, responsible lives and don't make an obscene spectacle of themselves on a regular basis.

Cracked scared me away from fame and riches.

This just made me laugh! But even if you are a fat white woman, if you are famous the Paparazzi will be all over you, they'll probably make it their job to point out just how fat and white you are... they're pretty sick I think. But then again who is sicker? The papparazzi? or the people who read the trash they write?JMeganSnow said:
As for the actual question on Topic. I guess I could do with fame. It is a very good asset to have when you want to get certain projects started. I mean If you're famous it usually implies you have a fan base. So all you have to do is market your new project by putting your face (or just your name if you're not that photogenic) all over it and sales will probably be good right off the bat. It's funny how society is such a slave to marketing...
