I don't want money, but I want immunity from the tyranny of money. Being rich means having to deal with the hassle of looking after the money, and avoiding getting ripped off completely. People who are rich end up attracting all sorts of leeches and scumbags.
And I certainly don't want fame. I've already been recognised on the street by strangers who then want to engage me in conversation. It's freaky, spooky, and I really, really don't want it.
I want to be constructive, and free to do what I like best. If being rich is the only way, I'd rather be rich in installments.
One of the best ways to be free of the tyranny of money is to have enough and lock it away in relatively safe investments. You'd be surprised at it not being that hard to deal with. Certainly if you are smart enough to generate it in an interesting way then you should be smart enough to crack this problem too. Leeches etc. need not be a problem if you have a modicum of discretion and are not ostentatious.

Like you, I definitely don't want fame.
