Say you are a really, well-known famous person, but not wealthy at all... like perhaps a poor religious figure with a strong following (Jesus), or you donate all your wealth to charity and live at poverty-level, etc...
vs.
Extremely wealthy, but no one knows who you are, except maybe the people who work for you - but you aren't "famous" as its come to be defined.
Which would you rather have?

Neither. Most times with one comes the other. And look what fame does to people.

Wealth, most definitely. Could be a better car, for starters...
...
Fame does strange things to people, but for myself, I could never be one of those people who say 'I wish I was famous'...I'm fine the way I am, but could do with some more dosh...

Wealth easily, you get tons of money without Camera's following you round all day, there is no argument to have. If your famous you're going to have your life dragged through crap nowadays and to not have any money for it? No thanks I'll take the money and run if that's ok with you. :-P

Wealth in a heartbeat. There are tons of wealthy people out there who no one knows. My grandparents are multi-millionaires. I would bet no one outside of the family really knows that though. It's a loosely guarded secret even amongst the family members.

Same here my uncle is one and owns alot of resturants in San Francisco and business buildings but no one outside of the bay area knows who he is I would keep that way as well |

Definitely fame. Plus if you somehow go bankrupt you can obviously parlay your fame in to money generation.

Wealth for sure since if you have $100 million as some heir it is a lot better than being a $100 million actor at least for me since you don't get hounded by the paparazi and have your business everywhere.

Wealth don't bring happiness.Fame brings enemies. Neither. Yes it does. Look at people in Africa, they're miserable. Look at the average American, we're happy. Even in America, look at people living in "ghetto" areas. It's ugly and dangerous. Look at the suburbs. It's nice and safe. If you're wealthy, you can not only afford a nice house in a nice neighborhood and have a nice car, but you can afford enjoyable things. So to say wealth doesn't bring happiness, is completely ridiculous. |

Money. I'd like to switch places with Mark Zuckerberg, dude's a billionaire but can still go wherever he wants because nobody knows what he looks like.

I picked wealth. I wouldn't ccare if people knew who i was or not if i had all that money it would actually be better if people didn't. I Know some people who are millionaires and if you saw them you would think they are regular people or middle class. Also if you are wealthy you can get famous anyway you want.
