Fame and Wealth is a 1983 album by Loudon Wainwright III. It was originally released on Rounder Records. After a five year hiatus since Final Exam, it eschewed the rock sound of his later 1970s albums in favour of a stripped-down, wirier folk sound which would typify his recorded output from then on.
