How much money does “being famous” make?

[John Paul]

I’m not a mathematician so I don’t know how to create a complex enough equation but… how much does being famous earn in theory? By degree of fame and separate from hours worked? 
 

Influence seems obvious but does anyone have any insights to how influence works? Or why? Or how it directly earns money?

Why would you want to measure fame in money in the first place? It all just depends on how you use the position you have.

[Jannes]

It’s hard to measure fame in quantity and also quality, like how many hardcore fans do you have compared to just people knowing your name. Then it also depends on how you got your fame because you can get famous in different ways. Being a meme in the internet probably won’t give you as many business opportunities as being a football star because nobody is really looking up to you. And then how you use your fame opportunity is obviously important. You are not rich from being fame, you have to make money with whatever you are doing that makes you famous and maybe also contracts, advertising, entrances, … if you want to further capitalize on that fame.

Allan Holdsworth was considered one of the best jazz fusion guitarists in the world. He was dirt poor virtually his whole life. All fame is not equal.
