Famous and rich are two different things. Anybody can get famous nowadays for better or worse.
If I could be both, sure. I'd buy a giant place in the middle of freaking nowhere and put a moat with alligators around it 😀
Without the wealth tho hell no thank you, not for better or worse.

Only if im famous enough to make a living off selling autographs

Only to sell my art for more so I could help animals more.

Yes

No. I do not want to be famous, I do not want to be wealthy, I am that I am and nothing more.

Maybe. I've thought about it before because I write and I'm always thinking about what would happen if I actually published something that people liked. Should I use a pen name? Should I never use a photo? I don't think I would like not being able to go out of my house without someone trying to talk to me or take a photo like you see with paparazzi and celebrities, but I could handle answering fan mail or phone interviews or something like that. I want to be low key famous, I guess is what I'm saying. 😉

I want the money that seems to come with fame...not fame itself.

I'd rather go to church and sing songs or compare clothing.

Hell NO! There is nothing about fame that I find the least little bit attractive.

0

Oh, HELL no. I wouldn't want to be the receptacle for millions of other people's projections. It's enough a chore just to know / be who I am.

I am famous..it all depends on your definition of Fame..is it Hollywood or Musically famous? ..I had a following in Atlanta that loved my food,did that make me famous? Too those people yes, to society at large no, for me it was gratifying.

With all the crap from my past that could be dug up, some of which I am sure I do not remember, fame would probably be a short lived joy for me. I am sure I did, wrote, or said something just to get a reaction that would be brought to light

I'd be Stephen King famous but not Kim K. famous. Just enough for people to want my opinion, but not enough for them to criticize my ass.

Bring it on. I'd love to have people actually give what I have to say some consideration instead of dismissing me out of hand.

I would like to be rich and powerful without anybody knowing exactly who I was LOL

1

Absolutely not. I would love the wealth though. Money issues, health issues and current uncertain future of our country has me more on edge than I care to be.

You wouldn't want the wealth?

@Anonbene LOL Typo, sorry, I'll fix.

2

Nope I like my life peaceful. If I could found a way to be peaceful and be rich at the same time than yeah I wouldn't mind being famous

1

It would be nice if people loved what I made, wrote, did, etc. Famous as in recognizable by people I don't know? Not so much.

1

Only if enough money comes along to deal with the fame.

I have been famous ( notorious) within a smaller sphere of influence. It was not as much fun as I imagined . I have never been rich and don't desire to be , either. I am now working at being good.

I was mildly famous for a short time had my picture in the papers for being a woman plasterer. I had a full page spread in the Liverpool Echo under the title Dirty Women apparently they were looking for more Dirty women to make it a series but couldn't find any.The day that picture was taken we were doing a handover of a house renovation so I wasnt in my work clothes a bystander had on overalls so they asked him if I could borrow them - It was all pretty embarrassing. I was also in the Burnley Gazette and the photographer had taken the picture from below me, in a mill we were renovating the angle made me look like an Amazon with size ten shoes(I am five foot one and a half)

2

I've been regionally famous. I wouldn't want to be nationally famous, unless it was for doing good in the world.

Good answer

1

Nope.

0

Not Really. I will take Rich over Famous and I hate Money so... but being recognized, locally, popular in the school or something like that... yeah... Famous to the world beyond me. NOPE! ...that's my final answer.

1

Just the money
