I worry that correlating fortune with those privileges discounts the people/families that afford themselves a higher lifestyle in earnest. Whether we're dealt a good or bad hand, it's up to us to play the game.
Most of my bosses have been women (of various ethnicity) and being a white, straight male hasn't saved me from my bouts with unemployment. Whatever privileges I have, they're still kicking my ass and they've earned my respect.
