Villain, without a doubt. The villains don't have to care what the press think of them and most the time get to live the high life doing what they want. I'm thinking a scenic Scottish castle with a fair estate as my lair, several grand pianos. Yes the villainous life is the life for me.
Lets compare: Hero, constantly having to look after the people where they live for no pay just respect, villain: extorting the people around them to make as much money and influence as possible for themselves.
Hero: Ruled by the media, if they want the people to like you they will, Villain: someone writes something bad about me they pay, normally in blood
Hero: absorbed by having to be on top form ready for anything, Villain: do as much or as little exercise as you want, spend the days doing what you want.
What is there to being a hero that a villain cannot have? Yet there is so much a villain can manipulate with ease that a hero could never have a say in.
Yes Villains are what this world produces.
