building a multi-million dollar fortune, having multiple vacation homes, a powerful executive position, etc.

Let's say you made another game where winning was measured by your overall happiness. Which to me means positive relationships with spouse, family, and friends, job satisfaction, decent income, good health, and fun hobbies.

I would think race would be less of an issue in this game, but this is coming from a white hetero man that sucks at your game.
