You have the opportunity to choose between two choices:

A) Unlimited wealth
The clincher: You are extremely homely in a way that is viewed as popular opinion.(say there was one)

The rules: You are not allowed to alter your appearance in any way surgically or via procedures like Botox, etc. Traditional methods of beauty enhancement is allowed (cosmetics, hair color, etc.) However, any enhancements do not alter popular opinion, you are still homely but you have an infinite cash flow.

B) Unyielding beauty
The clincher: You will be beautiful in a way that is appealing to most people find attractive (again, saying there was one). However - your beauty cannot lead you to wealth in any way (marry into money, borrow lots of money, modeling etc.). You will always struggle with money and never be comfortable. However, your beauty is lifelong through all ages and will not fade.

All things being equal in terms of wisdom and health, which would you choose and

I would choose the resource that would best empower me to help and serve others and produce a worthy and redeeming result. Therefore, I would not choose the superficiality of physical beauty, but rather I would choose wealth and provide charity to help feed and clothe the poor, educational funding for impoverished nations, financial aid to medical research for cancer and AIDS research, financing of orphanages in Africa for children left parentless and homeless from the AIDS Pandemic, and here in America I would fund scholarships in science and the arts, and establish inner city activity and counseling centers for troubled inner city teens and children from broken homes and struggling families.

In this way the inner beauty of my heart would far exceed any profound physical outer beauty.

Wealth is a double edged item. I've watched friends turn wealty due to death in the family and then, watch them turn into somebody from the republican steering committee. I've lived with a beauty, who upon recieving wealth, became a poster child for eating disorders. I'd prefer to not be caught up in the beauty routine, yet balanced enough to remain healthy and strong if wealth came my way. I'd like to lift the spirits of some of my favorite people while I was at it.

I would take unlimited wealth. I can always buy things that would make me happy. Even if I was homely, I'm beautiful inside (inner beauty), just like Beauty and the Beast and that's what is attractive to people.
As you said in unyielding beauty, "you will always struggle with money and never be comfortable". Even if you are attractive, people are not attracted to people who are not beautiful inside (inner beauty).

Neither will make you happy, does it really matter? I guess I would choose wealth, so I could help all the charities I wanted, but I can imagine with an infinite cash flow there would be a lot of inflation problems.

Definitely wealth. I'd want to be gorgeous if it meant being able to marry a billionaire, but according to your rules that isn't allowed. It doesn't matter if people think you're "homely", they still love you because you're loaded.
