How difficult is it to be rich and yet live a private life?

Well, you wouldn't blame some wealthy folks who can't stop flaunting their wealth at others especially in the media. Some of them have really worked hard before they got to where they are today and using every opportunity to put up a show to the rest of the world could always give them a feeling of pride as they'd feel they have paid their dues.

Although, there are also a good percentage of exhibitionists who had acquired wealth through inheritance,dishonest methods or just by sheer luck.

No need to mention that such brazen display of wealth would definitely make a less privileged person feel more miserable and inadequate.

Well again, you wouldn't blame them because sometimes it depends on the industry that one belongs. Folks who belong to the entertainment industry are most likely to lead a flashy lifestyle than any other group of people as such display would attract more attention, fans,sponsorship and contracts which would ofcourse translate to more money for them . Hence they can't help it.

However, we have seen a few famous celebrities who would rather live a fairly private life away from the public when compared to their conterparts in thesame industry.

This ofcourse is largely determined by the psychological disposition and personalities and vices that vary among humans just like the meaning of life differ from one man to the other.

This is similar to the reason why far more wealthier business men and captains of industry would prefer to lead a simple lifestyle and would even donate huge Sums albeit anonymously to various humanitarian causes. And there would always be another group of wealthy folks who would always crave all things that money could buy.

While being rich and popular have its own perks, the downsides are not too far fetched because people who are fond of flaunting their achievement are often targeted. A person who is fond of telling the world about his good fortune would very soon have to start dealing with the incessant demands of distant family members who hitherto never remembered him when he was still living in the trenches. This unending pestering by family and friends is enough to drive anyone nuts.

Apart from that, a flashy lifestyle could encourage punks into kidnapping a loved one for payment and one's life could also be at risk in the case of robbery. And since fame is something that feeds the human ego, many rich individuals would risk ignoring the negative feelings that their vanity had attracted .

On the other hand, being rich and fairly unknown always gives one a sense of inner peace and satisfaction . You wouldn't have to always put up with people's opinions and analysis about your life. Personally, I don't think I would be able to live happily in wealth when I see others around me striving to feed for a day.
