For other examples, look at sales of books by individuals who people view as successful, deference to "figurehead" success stories (see: Warren Buffett), celebrity weddings and funerals, and proven increased pay and opportunities for attractive people.

I am talking about worth as a person, not name recognition, monetary value, or fame. Worth as a human being.
