Fame
Ten years ago, not so much. But today, there's a whole new breed of famous designer. You can host a design show, enter and win a reality show on which you compete against other aspiring designers, or create your own line of housewares. Wanna be the next host of Million Dollar Homes? Get in line—it's a sought-after gig.
