Rich Or Famous?

March 30, 2010 1:47am CST
You can only choose one...so would you rather be rich or famous and why? Me...well I would like to be rich. I don't like to be in the spotlight that much and I like a quiet life so fame would not sit well with me at all. Now being rich would be great. I could get my kids a better education, I could give them some financial security and a nice place to call home. What about you?

me too, i would rather be rich and be silent about it, never flaunt anything... well, if you are rich, you are by then famous because you are known to be rich, especially if you help other people. the main reason why i choose being rich is, i will be able to give my family a better life and be able to help other people who really needs help. cheers!

I'd rather be neither, I wouldn't like the stress that comes with either and for those who think it's a walk in the park well picture being followed around 24/7. It's very hard for anyone rich to avoid being treated different and alot like someone famous you often will find photographers chasing you. I also wouldn't like the issues which come with having far too much money, I would just like to be a little better off myself.

I would much rather be rich than to be famous. The first reason that I would like to be rich instead of famous is because I really like having a quiet life and because of that I don't think that I would ever want to be in the spotlight. The second reason that I would want to be rich is because I've been through a lot of struggles in my life and I would love to be able to live a portion of my life without having to struggle.

why can't i have both. other people have. many people are rich and also famous. many famous people are also rich, so why dissociate the two pillars of success. but given a choice, i want to be famous... because being famous opens a lot of doors, even purses and bank accounts. also, many rich infamous people ended up dirt poor even social outcasts....

I wnna be rich and famous too but according to your given choices i would like to choose money, i want to be rich and then after that i can be famous by spending that money to promote myself for fame. I know money cant buy everything but money can buy most of the things what we need in life.

beauty no famous for me, too shy but being rich would be my cup of tea for sure . I wou ld buy my son a computer repair shop and put' him in to manage it, we would get our belongings out of storage,buy a condo and settle down to live happily and simply as the rest of the money would be in savings of course.we would live on the interest and be'very happy campers indeed.

Well i feel rich is better than fame which may go off as time passes. Being rich i can live my short life happy and my generation a nice stepping stone. So i prefer rich than famous.

I will chose to be rich. Famous is not fun at all you can lose your privacy and living under spotlight. I want to life in peace without that crazy Paparazy taken my picture and my family every day. I want to be rich but live with modestly, I want with my money I can provide a decent life for my family and help my people by providing job for them.

I would choose to be rich because if you're rich you have the capacity to help people who are in need financially.

I will have to go with being rich. Im the type of person who dont give a damn to what other people might say to me. Im not rude its just that im not a politician who cares about my image or something like that.But i really want to be successful in my life like my career or at least financially free thats what im aiming for. And im hoping that sooner or later i will be able to achieve it. Thank you for reading my comment and enjoy mylotting!

I pick rich too. With the money I can live a quiet yet comfortable life. I also could give to causes without being the spotlight shining on me.

I'd rather be rich. I would hate to be famous, because I'm a really private person.

i would like to be famous if i have enough money to spend for my daily needs. It should not be like that , when I am famous but struggling for basic needs. In this case i would choose to be rich instead being famous. I would prefer to be famous provided all basic need are fulfilled.

To me being rich is what I want.But not as much rich as Bill Gates.I'd rather be in the stats where I can still be recognize as a middle class cos' much more money can make your life in vain. Lots of pressure on your lifestyle could come up if you have too much money.Money is good if your wise enough how to spend it.I don't wanna be famous.
