My guess (at the risk of intruding) is that it was an inartful way of saying that it was more about the money than the race. Rich being the bigger factor. That's not to minimize the privilege that comes from being white, but being rich and famous are pretty big markers of privilege, and perhaps the more important factors. Emphasis on 'perhaps' because I don't really know the particular case, and maybe being white was the biggest factor.

People should really count to ten before alleging racism.

Clearly you didn't. If you had, it might have occurred to you that, as knowltok pointed out, it was about fame and money, not race.
