I'm sure that part that goes together with "famous", e.g. - "rich" needs not be mentioned.... I think most of us wouldn't mind being rich.
What I want to ask is - Would YOU want to be famous? I'm not talking about Armin or PvD sort of famous - they are famous in relatively small circles. I'm talking about movie-star like famous. Like Paris Hilton, Brad Pitt, Britney, etc...
Considering you could be insanely rich... but only if you were famous. Would you want it?
Before you jump to answers... consider this:
Every move you make, every breath you take, every sh!t you take, every face you break - THEY'LL BE WATCHING YOU. (the paparazzi and psychos).
so?

fixed.
this is a hard question to answer. i am not someone who likes to be noticed in a sea of people but if it made me rich then i probably wouldnt mind it.
also consider this. the way you treat the paparazzi and the manner in which you shield your life also contributes to the way the paparazzi try to get pics of you. if you are just a closed person but pose for the cameras when asked and what not you dont really have a problem. its when you start to cause a scene and what not that it becomes a problem.

i wouldnt mind being famous if i was a successful let's say business woman or owner of a compagny i made or ...even a writter but never like a singer or actress or whatever
The lack of privacy would be a bitch. Then again I'd be able to buy my privacy and all financial troubles would be gone. Yeah, I'd be down to be famous.

The richest people around are business tycoons who are not as famous. So becoming famous is not a requisite to become ultra stinking rich.

I wouldn't mind if it was fame associated with inventing something new, or actually accomplishing something in life that no one else has, but as far as being famous like an actually celebrity...no thanks. I like being the simple small town girl, dumped in a big city.
