I was under the impression that Caesar had to marry and borrow his "wealth", and his family was neither remarkable or wealthy for being senatorial. On the other hand, Cicero being disadvantaged as he came from a wealthy but "non-Roman" Italian family. Also didn't Caesar gain great wealth through his military campaigns? Caesar became extremely wealthy but I don't think it's accurate to say that he started life that way.
