The first time you're in public and get recognized or hear strangers talking about you feels like you're there, too.
“Is that the local high school cross country coach? I bet it’s the one...”
“Yes, yes I am”
“I bet it’s the one who’s been accused of touching those kids in the locker room.”

You can afford to send your children to an out of state public university.
Why would anyone do that? Only reason to go to a state school is you're poor.
Or because you understand math and the concept of ROI. Private Schools are overrated and only serve as bubbles of false superiority for kids.
...when you pay yourself in time to do what you want. You are free of the need to impress, and of course free of debt.

Back in college, I made a friend with a Russian girl. I wasn't hot back then, but I was super cringey. Anyways I told her that I was gonna be "infamous" throughout this whole university area.
In my cringey brain, I wanted to be a fvck boy. It was the time when Tinder was fresh. I used to be old fashioned. I've come to realize that I put people on pedestals too. It was a gross time.
Anyways I did achieve becoming "infamous." But it wasn't for that.
I ran so much around the whole university area and surrounding universities, that I became known as "that runner." Some people would approach me and say: "Are you that runner? I saw you running on that highway... that's crazy!" I would feel especially flattered when chicks would say they saw me run.
I used to run shirtless when it was below freezing. And then sometimes when it was snowing or there was heavy rain. Those exploits added to my status of being a runner. Sometimes, I'd run at night around 11 or midnight, and I'd get high fives.
I wasn't on the D1 team. But on one chance I was running, the head coach of TF & XC approached me. I am certain other members of the D1 team talked about me. However, at that time I was a senior and soon to graduate.
Anyways, in my case: You know you've made it if you stick to the promises and goals you've had years ago.
It might not be related to financial success or relationships, but if you follow through with the goals or dreams you had months or years ago, then you're sticking true to your core.
I really didn't want to be known as a fvck boy throughout my university area. I just wanted to be popular enough for people to talk about me and it happened. And I did it through running and running at crazy/irrational times of the day.
When that Russian chick saw me, her eyes widened. I made a promise to her that I would be infamous throughout university, and two years later, I became that.
It will take some time to "make it" in the real world though.
You don't have access to guns, do you?

That's kind of funny. I have a friend that meets three of your four criteria (minus the sub-14 minute 5k). He's miserable. Works for a law firm in Chicago.

You do not own me. A collective/majority vote does not own me. You are not entitled to my labor, time or property. You are a fool if you believe fox news represents/believes in the free market. You are a fool if you believe the Republican party represents/supports a free market. As Tom Woods says,"There are only two (major) parties today: The Stupid Party and The Evil Party. Once in a while the two parties get together to do something that is both stupid and evil, and that's called Bipartisanship." I have one final thing to ask, what is wrong with voluntary exchanges of goods and services?
https://mises.org/library/economic-calculation-socialist-commonwealth...you're happy/joyful/pleased most of the time. What gets each person to that state may vary, but isn't this ultimately the goal? Having an impressive job, lots of money/stuff, an awesome significant other, etc. mean little if you're still miserable.

You are neither. Charles Manson is infamous (and notorious). The NY ranting, racious lawyer is infamous. A guy running shirtless in cold weather and all hours of the day is not infamous.
