I would absolutely choose fortune without fame, but then I'm an introvert. I wouldn't relish living in a fishbowl as fame would require. Plus, you can be famous without really being admired (witness Joey Buttafuoco, Kato Kaelin, Tonya Harding). Wealth can buy you many of the same perks that fame can (admission into exclusive places, access to power, etc.) without the downsides of constant scrutiny.
