What does the word fame mean to you? Is it sacrifising yourself for the sake of the public or a good way to make money on your popularity?

Fame for me is when a person is famous, well-known, he is recognizible in streets. When, for instance, fans of some singer are long for touching him, for getting an autograph of him. As for me, I don't want to be famous, because everyone will know not only about my success but about my misfortunes also. I won't have normal private life, there will be flow of paparazzi near my house, etc. But if only I am famous it would be both a sacrifising myself for the sake of the public and a good way to make money on my popularity. I would try to combine these two constitutives.
