Given what I would be if famous (rockstar or writer) it would tend to have rather a lot of fortune attached. But even if it didn't, I'm one of those lame people who actually does things for the art, not the money.
lets weigh the pros and cons here:
fame
ros:...
cons: people will be annoying when your out in public, the news people will rip you to shreads,people will be stealing your hard work off the internet(if your a singer/artist/actor.).
fortuneros:you have money, you can use said money without the reporters hounding you like you were a famous person, and you have money.
cons:...
hmmmm, i wonder which i'll pick.

I wouldn't mind a bit of fame, to be honest. The attention seeking bastard I am. But I wouldn't like worthless fame.
But fortune wins hands down, if I was rich enough not to have to work I could do whatever I wanted. Be that making a super awesome album, or writing a super awesome novel or being behind some super awesome films. Plus I'd have the 'rich list type fame'. Anyway, if I was RICH BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS then I could have some scrounging socialite children to play the fame game for me, and fall out of nightclubs coked up to their eyeballs.

From someone who got a brief and very very small taste of the "fame without much money" thing, I'd choose 'a rich nobody' any hour of any day of the week. The novelty of being recognized is pretty much the only thing fame has going for it, and that novelty wears off in about 1 day, and becomes a huge pain in the d&*k every day after that. I don't think there is one single consequence with the 'rich and nobody knows who you are' side of things!
Fame isn´t going to get me a mansion with a swimming pool and all the lapdances I could possibly want.
