Nowadys celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achivements and this sets a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disgree with this statement?

Recent years have witnessed a debate about whether
celebrities
'
achievements
are making them famous or whether their
popularity
is measured based on their
wealth
and
glamour
.
While
many youngsters are in demand of support for the latter view, I hold the belief that
celebrities
are more known for their
achievements
. On the one hand,
glamour
and
wealth
are associated factors, making
celebrities
popular among a lot of young generations.
For instance
, one of the Bollywood actors received a gift for a McLaren GT car from his producer which made him India's first owner of
such
a luxurious car. The news got huge attention from the media which was the reason for the influence on many people.
Therefore
, aspirants received a bad
example
by just looking into a person's
wealth
for his
popularity
.
Nevertheless
, one cannot ignore a person's
achievements
for his or her
popularity
.
To begin
with, the well-known celebrity of India, Mr Shahrukh Khan, people admire for his humbleness, hard work and dedication towards his work, and

he survived in his field for the past 40 years
as well as
motivated people all around the world.
In addition

actor Mr Matthew McConaughey is another great
example
who became famous because of his
achievements
. He inspired many youngsters through his podcasts, speeches and the best-selling book called Greenlights.
Thus
,
it is clear that
values
such
as
achievements
, hard work, dedication, etc. are more important for a person's
popularity
.
To conclude
,
although
glamour
and
wealth
are playing

in young minds, I believe that

for youngsters.
Therefore
, I strongly discourage the statement that

and

are more famous.
