At this point I'd settle for well off and not totally exhausted...my bar's kind of set low:)

I am going to win the Mega Millions lottery, then buy and island and build a Firefly on it. There, rich and (relatively) famous.

Or, I could just become the next microbrewer to hit it big on an international scale.

Fame is highly overrated. I wouldn't want to be famous. Much rather be regular and not bothered by the amazing amounts of bother you get that go along with being both rich and famous...or even just famous :)

Too bad. It's my ponderable and you need both.

I figure I'll just win the world series of poker someday. Then I'll be rich and famous but only to a small segment of society.

I figure I'm most likely to be famous for going bonkers and kidnapping a ton of kids and taking them away from their terrible parents to raise properly...

Famous = discovering the cure for cancer.

Rich = winning mega millions lottery and investing well.

Now, I know my famous answer could make me rich, but what kind of person would I be if I got rich off of a cure that was only available to those who have the money?

And really, fame is wha tyou make it. While I do feel sorry for some actors, the celebutantes are mostly doing it to themselves. There are plenty of actors that aren't in the gossip rags or aren't being stalked by paparazzi. It's a choice about how you live and how you present yourself. Some of the top actors/celebrities (Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, etc) have less choice, but the likes of Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan, etc do have a choice. They choose to present themselves to the public that way...wanting the attention when they want it, but not when they don't. It doesn't work like that, unfortunately.

Hmmm well couldn't you get rich off of a bidding war with the drug companies only to release the cure on the internet and the news the day after they paid you???
