Right. Fame has very much taken precedence over wealth and power. A rapper or pro athlete has much, much higher SMV than a corporate CEO, Senator, or even entertainment industry exec.
We in the manosphere need to get to the point where we are properly defining our terms. "Fame", "power" and "wealth" are overlapping, interrelated concepts.
"Power" is the ability to do what others can't. "Wealth" is stored up value that one can use for trading with others. "Fame" is admiration and reknown from a group of others.
Oftentimes "famous" people are wealthy, and vice versa. There are also situations where "Powerful" people would not be "powerful" in that given context. Place a broke, but over-confident bad boy and a shy, billionaire in the same room with hot chicks, who is "powerful" in that situation? This is basically how all of social life plays out. Power differentials.
The real thing to ask yourself: "Who has the most *naked* power in this situation?" That's what chicks want at the deepest level. If the bad boy can talk to girls with impunity and the billionaire can't, no matter how much money he has, the bad boy has more power. It's that simple.
