It would be a bit like being flattered for having an - in my case - exchange organisation for poor people, haveing a lot of people in my board of advisors who put more work into it, ask people to participate and take there money formy cause while I get a shit load of financial and social benefits from it and at the same time have my day job where I run a business -again with everybody around me 'working for me - family and friends and get even more money for charging high prices for my product because i know that my customers love me no matter what and hear about my charity all of the time and are even more willing to spend their money on it and in the end I get so rich that I have even richer friends who give awards because I also wanted to impress them and even more money because they know at this point I am famous and good for publicity and again, they might do the same.



And in the end i spend 90 % of my wealth on a football team and 5% and 10 hours on my community whereas my husband does a lot more and in the end I am the 'successful' one, showing up at all of the important events while I hardly do anything for the people directly UNLESS of course there is media involved.



I would feel hypocritical.
