Gaining fortune through fame is a sucker's game. Those with real fortunes attempt to avoid fame because it costs way more than it brings in. Once you hit that point of requiring private security, suddenly you're locked in and you need to keep the money coming in (via your fame) to protect yourself from the risk (associated with your fame). Plus it breeds the worst sort of social habits and incentives if you gain fame early in your life. It's so easy for young girls (who are even mildly attractive) with poor parents to get roped into this thing. It's the same perverse incentives that cause prostitutes to get their own daughters into the "family business" (which happens more often than you think). What you get validation from in your teenage years has a huge impact on what you strive for / put your effort into. Do the right thing for your kids long term and invest in them instead of cashing in on them.
