Money seems to have all the benefits of fame and few of the disadvantages. Having $100m in the bank confers all those advantages without being harassed on the street.

Well, with fame, you walk into a fancy restaurant, you get a table. With money, you're still another anonymous schmuck.

I guess if you have that much money you can hire someone to call ahead and say "This man's net worth is this much, and he would like to have a table in half an hour.". Or to be less crass, they can rattle off your impressive CV/portfolio and the restaurant would get the idea.

You never been out for a meal with a rich person huh? Guarantee you a rich person (where rich is $50m+)can get that table faster than the b-list sitcom actor who is in front of her in the queue. She dosnt need a CV, just needs her wallet.
