Famous people that died poor

[GeorgeJohn]

Famous doesn't equal to rich. Rich people could become poor and that's another topic, but famous people being rich isn't a guarantee, just because you are known doesn't mean you should be making money. The guy who found penicillin gave it away for free, he is famous, but he wasn't rich.

Currently if you're not financially buoyant you can't be famous, we have a limit of how famous someone can be, so many entertainers are famous, elon musk are famous because the kind of things he deals with...so what you do will determine how length will be your famous...

Not everyone is like Elon Musk, not everyone is famous that kind of way. In fact, there are more famous people in Hollywood as actors than rich business people. Do you know every single person from richest 100 people in the world? Most know 5 or 10, if you are interested you know maybe 20-30, but not many know all 100, and yet you all know 100+ famous Hollywood actors, and yet they are not that rich. Fame doesn't get you rich directly.

Firm can give you the opportunity to becomes rich, they're so many opportunities that come from someone who are famous, it's can seek for something and it shall be granted...

Even though people who are famous doesn't have money they way you expected...at least they're living average life, because if you're on Hollywood, it's obvious that you cannot be a beggar..And you have something to sustain without knocking anyone for assistance for feeding...Actually I will agree on your point of views..not all everyone who is famous is rich....

Fame and riches are two different things. You can be famous but still not rich like the example you gave of Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming, the inventor of Penicillin. Likewise there is humanitarian and philanthropist in my country (Pakistan) who ran worlds largest ambulance service (under the Umbrella of welfare organisation) but he don't have even have a simple car for his personal use nor he has any personal home. For some people, becoming rich is to achieve there goals which may not necessarily involve monetary gain.

I would say it depends on the category in which one is getting famous. You can't become rich or start making money by becoming rich in a category that doesn't create opportunities for you to make money. The person you mentioned, late Abdul Sattar Edhi, was a great man, but he was working as a philanthropist, and that category in general doesn't allow you to make a lot of money unless you are dishonest with your work and don't spend the charities you get on the needy because when you run an NGO, you basically rely on charities to get things done. He also used what he owned for the poor.

However, if the category is different, like if someone gets famous in the showbiz or the digital media like social networks, they basically get to make a lot of money because they will be in demand, whether they create their own channels and gain views and everything, or start giving their time to channels for interviews, they might even get offers from films and stuff, so such people can have higher chances of making a lot of money because they stay relevant and in the headlines or trends for a longer time if they can maintain that.

This happens rarely, but nowadays if you achieve recognition it has become much easier to monetize your knowledge or popularity, than it used to be in the past. Of course, if a person is not interested in money and is driven only by some higher purpose, they won’t strive for wealth. But I don’t know any people who wouldn’t try to become rich if they had such an opportunity.

When you have no financial knowledge there are more chances to become poor in early age . Most of the people in our country have no knowledge how to make thus money double and they are entrapped by beters who are ready to bet and they are beting . You should not spend time with people who are useless because these will make you useless and you will not be a able to stand financially. Finance education is more important than everything And if you are famous then more people will watch your news and you will not be rich or poor by that And if you are involved in bad activities then you will be poor in a few months. People are making money and when they have money they are thinking that this money is for lifetime which is not possible.
