Do you mean money-wise? What's the point if you're not happy?

The only thing I want for my kids besides them being happy, is that their happiness does not depend on the misery of other human beings. Funnily enough, "success" is often used as a synonym for "being a sociopath born with a silver spoon who does not give a damn about not making others miserable".

Not a single sane person has ever suggested that success depends on the misery of other human beings.

I think the point is that - rather than deliberately wishing misery on others - our society is set up such that success often or always implies creating misery for others.
