Late game, gold is practically useless. If you join either the Thieves Guild or Drak Brotherhood, you will have so much gold you can buy pretty much anything. At this point, the race you want shuld be based on innate abilities. Bretons have that handy magic block. Khajiit have Night Eye, and the Dawnguard quest puts you in a pitch black cave which will have you spamming Magelight if you aren't a Khajiit. Imperials can calm people, but a little Illusion training should be enough for that. Argonians can breath underwater, but you can pop ptions or use the spell, or wear a pendant for that.

Basically, Breton or Khajiit. If you are going Vampire, Dark Elves are swell. The Orc power seems pretty good too. The other races are a bad idea
