I agree with you that fame is overrated. And you've reminded me of a documentary I watched. Where David Beckham was involved in a charity bike ride through the Amazon.

Towards the end of one day, a bike problem prevented the cyclists from continuing to their intended stop. And they had to set up camp to wait for replacement parts the following morning. During a chat, Beckham said it was the first evening in years that he wasn't scheduled to be doing something, or being somewhere. That struck me as being too high a price to pay for the trappings of fame.
