Money is awesome. No one is disputing that.

But is it all that matters when you can't even walk your dog in peace, play with your kids outside or take a swim without being photographed and/or filmed? Does the "prisoner of your own fame" saying ring true or is it just a bunch of crap that celebrities made up for us to be sympathetic toward them?

I'm eager to see what you all think.




also, don't forget the fact that if you're a big time celebrity with all that money, the press will dig out every single thing they can find about you, i.e., dorky high school yearbook picture that you never wanted anyone to see, your nights of debauchery, drug use history, etc.... for all the world to see


nevertheless, money goes a long way....
