Gatsby is a member of the nouveau riche, the newly rich.
He earns his money as a bootlegger during Prohibition.
However great he may seem, he ultimately feels unfulfilled with his money and grossly inadequate.
More than anything, he longs for the love of Daisy, who is of "old money"; we can think of her as a member of the gentry. Her lineage is pure, which is why she wears white, and her financial stability is well-established by generations of American aristocrats.
In some way, Gatsby is a self-made man who longs for a better life by way of the American Dream. However, his money and his notoriety are not enough to lure the haughty Daisy from her established, shallow lifestyle, and he remains unfulfilled.
