overrated or overvalued?
|
Hello!
Which should I use with people?. I want to say that "being famous is overrated/ overvalued". Which one is correct?
Is "overvalued" more related to money?
Thanks in advance

I would definitely say "overrated". The meanings depend on the source of the comment. A famous person might say that it is overrated. An envious person, or someone who is commenting on society, would more likely to say that it�s overvalued. So, "overrated" is more an internal observation (by the famous person), while "overvalued" is an obersvation of how people react. Bruce
