It also helps to be an Imperial (if your sole concern is really the amassing of Gold, as that race has a passive for finding more than usual).

If your character is a decently high Level before completing any quests (around 15 or 20), you'll be able to earn more Gold & more valuable loot than you would otherwise. Just adventure, screw around for a while, then get serious with finding quests (as well as looting every single container you can find).

When playing on a couple character-files of mine (including the Dunmer Vampire)...I pretty much play as a kleptomaniac when concerned with anything of potential selling value.
