Being famous doesn’t necessarily bring you 1). It gives people more incentive to pretend to like you when they just want your money.

- SideburnsOfDoom 3y agoBeing famous doesn't even automatically bring you money. But it does bring "monetisation opportunities" such as e.g. giving paid talks to conference audiences, podcast guest, "write" a book, reality TV contest show participant, or appearing is commercials for gimmicky kitchen goods. You'd still have to decide if you're OK with doing that and then follow through; several of those options give me the ick. For a low B-list celebrity, they will still have to hustle shamelessly for money. Just to keep up with the lifestyle that is expected of you.
- expertentipp 3y agoI always was unable to imagine how to monetize sudden fame or even lottery win. The first entities and people who stick to you are usually the worst. Wrong moves and the very begging, ie. sharing some data, or committing to an obligation, will be defining for the entire new life.
