I think money and fame are alpha characteristics, to clarify. They kind of all blend into 'power' which is probably the mightiest of them all.
But usually they come with the other alpha characteristics. Like if you're rich and famous and powerful you probably are a self-confident alpha, you know what I'm saying?
Social skills and displaying alpha characteristics can trump all though. You probably won't be walking into a bar and stealing Kobe Bryant's girl, but you can still pick from a wide selection.
i guess you could argue that money and fame are alpha characteristics. I will say i mentioned that in some of my first posts and nobody really acknowledged it, or they said i was wrong and that an alpha male is the "self promoting guy who looks like he should be on the jersey shore" (for the lack of a better description) .
As for the rich and famous meaning you are a self-confident alpha....eh its debatable. Arent you a giants fan? Eli Manning is far from a self-confident alpha. Its somewhat "anecdotal" and "exception to the rule" bringing him up, but there are plenty of rich and famous people who arent "i deserve all women to sleep with me, im the greatest thing ever" jersey shore types.
And tbh, maybe my 4 years of high school football and track taught me this, but confidence to me isnt about thinking "im the best, you all suck", its about getting others to believe in themselves.
