This is one of those trick questions, isn't it? Like, money and fame can't buy happiness or whatever, so you're supposed to pick happiness? Screw that. There's no such thing as happiness. It's a myth, an illusion that people chase after all their lives. People aren't designed to be happy. Not unless they're insane or retarded.
And wouldn't that be funny? If everyone who answered "happiness" to this question was given a complimentary lobotomy? There you go, you're happy now. No more worrying about your job or your lover or that you're going to die someday and the odds are that it will be slow and painful. Just - happiness. 'Cause all the thinking parts of your brain have been cut away.
Fame? Eh. Fame without money or power is meaningless. You're just the puppet of the masses.
Money? Maybe. Best of the three, that's for sure.
How about none of the above? What I want is option #4 - power. It's the only thing that really matters.
