"People who want to be rich and famous should try being rich first."

Tim Ferris recently had an excellent essay[1] on the downside of fame, including issues with dating, friendships, travel, death threats, family impact, and questionable myths that you can have an impact based on fame alone. It seems like if you want to influence outcomes on a large scale, controlling large piles money remains significantly better than being famous.
