Just why is it most of the people remembering past lives are someone famous or rich? Wackos.

Just by the odds, shouldn't at least a third of past lives be that of Chinese or Indian peasants?

Actually the one the best “documented” cases of “reincarnation” was Bridey Murphy. She was neither rich, nor famous.

I don’t know what lies beyond the veil. I just trust in Christ, and pray that his grace will cover me. But I do like Kipling:

...
They will come back—come back again, as long as the red Earth rolls.
He never wasted a leaf or a tree. Do you think He would squander souls?

The Sack Of The Gods
Rudyard Kipling

You might read Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children's Memories of Previous Lives by Dr. Jim Tucker who is associated with the University of Virginia, or even just read the reviews at Amazon. I have a scientific education, and no tradition of belief in reincarnation, but I thought Tucker's evidence assuming it to be real, was pretty interesting.

None of the accounts Tucker gives has anything to do with anyone rich or famous.

Or noble or dramatic.

No one remembers being a toothless ratcatcher in Elizabethan London, or pulling a honeywagon in Korea in 1920.
