Are you so self-conscious that you need our approval for every post you make?

I disagree with people who say that fame and riches go together. True, most famous people are rich because most celebrities get payed exhorbitant fees for what they do. For instance, Paris Hilton charges $200,000 for a 20 minute appearance at a public event. However you haven't heard of the rich, non-famous people for the precise reason that they are not famous. Check out the top 200 rich list sometime, you'll find that you haven't heard of most of them because they're too busy making money to waste time on self-promotion.
