   If you could be either BUT NOT BOTH, which would you prefer?
   
   You only have one choice. One or the other.

      Rich. Fame often comes with too high of a price tag. I much rather be rich and lead a relatively obscure life than be famous, and have my every move scrutinized, any day of the week!

      Rich and fame sometimes are closely related.For famous people
      its easy to stay rich both mentally and financially.One can
      retain both fame and richness if one's intention is clear and
      stay positive and focus in life.

   I'll pick Rich - money can always buy fame or seclusion - whichever you prefer. You can also use your money to make more money..
   
   Fame on the other hand is, as they say, fleeting!

   Rich. I don't want fame at all (too bad, my chosen career is likely one day to lead to it if I ever force myself to actually do the work!).

   Definitely rich. Fame means less freedom, money means more freedom.

         How does fame mean less freedom? ( as opposed to being rich ,that is)
         
         See if I was famous , Id automatically be rich anyway.
         So ya got the best of both worlds
         Maybe it depends how youre famous too
         See I was thinking famous like a "New Invention"  or "Cure for Cancer" and the patent and all that comes long term

            Don't go for the cure for cancer every pharmaceutical company in the world would put a hit on you for that.
            
            There are loads of famous people who aren't wealthy and better people for it.
            Rosa Parks
            Mother Teresa
            Ghandi
            Anne Frank
            Harriet Tubman
            Tesla
            
            Then you have famous for being bad.
            Serial Killers
            Bank Robbers (the ones who got caught didn't stay rich)
            Those two ice skating girls and that guy who got part of his penis cut off.
            
            And last but not least those that went broke because of fame.
            Judy Garland
            Debbie Reynolds
            Bobby Brown
            Buffalo Bill
            Lindsay Lohan
            
            I pick rich because there are so many possible meanings.
            Rich = Abounding

       seems like apeksha started reading the thread from 2nd post...hehe
       nevermind... but darkside repeated one only many times
       Come on its not that difficult  to leave 1
       
       Frankly for me.. NONE
       Both are Addictive, Ego feeding, kinda Materialistic, Time dependent & need hell lot of "Down to earth" attitude to control them (Esp when they are in plenty) without which i dont feel its worth to anyone.
       But to choose one, i choose RICH
       That can fetch materialistic happiness and one can enjoy life to an extend depending upon his/her requirement.

    Rich - as long as you could guarantee my riches wouldn't bring me any kind of fame. Can't think of anything worse than dodging paparazzi, worrying about my kids security, and having the tabloids pick my life, morals and fashion choices to pieces (my morals and fashion choices don't stand up to much scrutiny at the best of times).
