Not at all. Even if you find the cure to cancer tomorrow and it is 100% effective and dirt cheap, there are always enough people willing to make up conspiracies about it and send you threats. There's a semi-well known article from Tim Ferriss [1] where he does the math about prevalence of mental illness in the general population and multiplies that by an audience size of (say) 10 million people. You quickly end up with shockingly large amounts of mentally ill people in your audience. Famous people get death threats pretty much daily, and often their family does too. This doesn't mean that money doesn't have it advantages too of course, but rich and unknown is pretty much always preferable to rich and famous.
