The point of bringing up his assets from over twenty years ago is to demonstrate that he was not from "money" at all, although he did have pedigree. You are right, he was the Director of the CIA by the time Dubya married Laura. But when Dubya was growing up, he was mostly a minor businessman and politico. Dubya lived in a modest house and went to public schools, until he was old enough to "prep". In other words, Dubya was not raised in a particularly privileged manner.
