What life would you prefer leading, an average but quiet and peaceful life? Or a famous life where you have glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.
I’m not sure about you but I’d prefer an average life of content and comfort knowing that while money is good, it’s not everything.
Let me know your thoughts!
Does the fame require me to work and have public appearances (i.e. celebrity/actor/etc.), or can I be just a rich famous person without it? If it’s the latter, I’d take it. Be rich and famous but will fuck off somewhere on a private residence (gated mansion or island) and just live normally like I do now. Then if I want to travel or watch a concert, being rich gets you privileges like VIP entry where you can avoid the hassle of crowds.
I’m actually George Clooney. (This is my alt.) And if you think you get a lot of texts from politicians begging for money, try being me. I had to turn on my burner phone for my wife my because her bestie said men with two phones cheat. I was like, “I’m not fucking the entire Democratic Party, Amal. If I gave them my real number, my iPhone would buzz every 2 seconds like this Boost Mobile one. We’d have to use walkie-talkies to plan dinner.”
Quiet and peaceful is underrated.
I’d love if in 12 years or so it’s somehow proven that this is actually George’s account. Would be a great “I was there” moment.
Same for the Margot Robie account
Money yes fame hell no it used to be seen as the curse of greatness now its seen as the goal idk what’s wrong with people.
Honestly I can’t see why you’d choose average, non-wealthy. If you want quiet and peaceful, you’re sure to get it when wealthy, just pay for a large residence and security on the outskirts, then stay inside. Use disguises/body doubles when going out. Except for a little organizational overhead, which you can also pay people to do for you, you can have everything you want when you’re famous and wealthy.

So … you can everything you want, except sponteneity? Or privacy, with all those staff hanging around. And there’d still be some douche tracking your private jet.
Privacy might be hard. Spontaneity is really, really easy when you have a black card, a private jet and possibly an income stream that runs itself.
I’ve worked for and with some famous people. It doesn’t look like fun, I wouldn’t want it for myself. You’re surrounded by enablers who will reinforce your worst character traits. The public gets exhausting to deal with after a while. Sometimes you’re just having a bad day and don’t feel like taking selfies with random strangers instead of going about your day. Public figures can be difficult to get along with in close settings because of all these reasons and more.
Wouldn’t want to be one, I’ll happily take their money though.
I prefer knowing that my relationships are genuine and no one is sucking up or trying to get anything from me.
Quiet and peaceful.
If I could be rich but nobody knew, then sure.
Not into flashy things anyways
Famous enough that there’s a steady fan base listening to my music (a thousand people internationally sounds great to me) but nothing more than that. I want that genuine fandom, where people actually enjoy being in a niche and no one stalks you and generally people don’t know you wherever you go.
Not even for the money, but just to feel appreciated and to know I have a positive impact on people, that’s all I want.
If it’s only the two extremes? Yeah I’m totally cool with a quiet life.
I’m perfectly content with my current average life. Fame would only bring more worries and stress, even if it’d also bring more luxury
Can I get the quiet and peaceful but be able to actually afford a house somewhere with reasonable transit and walkability without having to work more than 40 hours per week?
Let’s say a decent amount of 30 hours per week (as it is already on the upper scale…)
I’m in then! Sign me up for that quiet life.
Average, but quiet and peaceful life and it’s not even close. Being famous sounds like a massive chore.
Average. Not much you can do with fame if it doesn’t come with a little power.
Quiet and peaceful please :)
I just would’ve been born somewhere else and being middle class. That’s it. I’ve been a poor outsider most of my life and nothing is going to change.
The latter. I want glamour, wealth and luxurious accommodation.
