And why did he have such an enviable life?

I think Gophie is making reference to the old saying...'living the life of Reilly'.

I'd never heard of that.

That's probably because you're not living the life of Reilly, Lil Me.  I think the saying implies that Reilly is living a life of luxury and has everything done for him.

 Remember Radar's teddy bear?
