I mean, look at the number of highly career-successful celebrities who end up very unhappy, with significant mental health issues and substance abuse problems. You can't really call that "success".

I think finding happiness in your home and in what you do for a living is very important. I was lucky that I was able to carve/create a career for myself as the internet evolved. My main goal for my kids was that they do something they enjoy and their education was encouraged with that in mind, looking at their inclinations and putting no pressure on them to take 'any job'.
I have my husband to thank because he has enabled me to do what I want through his hard work and support and also his children.
You don't have to be fabulously rich to have a good life.
