Famous (and smart) Womanizer

I'm talking about Milton Friedman, Thorstein Veblen, and James Bond. Friedman is short, the other two are tall. Bond is just a fiction character, the other two are the real deal in economic thoughts. Friedman and Veblen are both genius economists, but the former has earned himself a Nobel Prize. No matter how you draw the graph (x and y as tall and short, fiction or real, Nobel laureate or not), the three are in the same indifference curve of being famous and smart womanizer. Wait, really the same? Well, if you'd like to do the rank, perhaps, Bond's curve is highest, Veblen ranks two, and Friedman follows.
