The 17 Ways To Become Rich And Famous Without Having Any Talent

It's a tough world out there and getting recognized can take years or never happen at all. Millions of talented young people spend years trying to make it big with little or nothing to show for it. However, some people seem to get famous over night with seemingly no talent whatsoever.

It actually seems that the less talent you have, the more fame you get these days.

The faces we see plastered all over the tabloids are people who don't actually do anything. They are "personalities," "socialites" and "entertainers" who do nothing but embarrass themselves until we can't forget their names.

With that being said, we have studied the tactics many have taken to achieve their fame and compiled a list of the most successful ways. Basically, you need to do everything your parents ever told you not to do. So here's a list of all the ways you can get famous without having any talent at all.
