If it were me, I'd first make sure I had sufficient security against people who want to threaten me, because being famous leads to problems. Then I'd take as much as possible and start giving it away, perhaps anonymously. I have this fantasy that I'd approach some charity that works in Africa and adopt an entire city. Make sure it has good water, good jobs, decent schools for the kids, plenty of food, good medical care, bicycles to get around without causing pollution, and all that. Maybe I'd build a factory to create employment. Then I'd visit it anonymously, just to see what I did with my money. I think that would feel fantastic. I don't think I'd pick Nigeria, because so many scams are from there, like "the Nigerian letter" or Sudan because the warring tribes would come in and kill people and take over. I think I'd pick Ethiopia, because they're so poor there, but they're kind and because their food is the best I've ever tasted!

The function of celebrities is to sell merchandise based on image rather than quality, value or technical merit. Part of the image is a lifestyle that requires little work or talent to reap huge rewards. Few people can legitimately aspire to win a Nobel Prize or create a great work of art. How much of what Hollywood produces will be recognized on par with a Michelangelo 100 years from now? In a perverse way, there is merit to the image of being useless because anyone can aspire to be useless. That aspiration is precisely what celebrity sells. The deeper questions are why does the public buy it and what does that mean for the economic future of the American culture.

Well, you have to realize that everybody is different. The fact that she wants to celebrate every month with you means one thing, and that is that she loves you and treasures her time with you. It may, however, be over-bearing. Understandably. The best thing to do is realize what it would be like to NOT have her or anybody who cared enough about you to be concerned about something such as a monthly anniversary. The small things, such as that, are the things that turn into regrets over time, and the things that you "would've done differently", should things ever not go in your favor someday. Cherish it. Even just telling her you love her or sending her a nice text telling her and reminding her of her importance to you will make all of the difference in the world. As soon as a woman doesn't feel special or pretty or wanted and needed, she will seek those things. Then its you and me left with the heartache.

It's really not that tight, I've lived with really rich people and their lives suck, most non-celebrities rich people have horrible lives, I guess its different for popular people
