Da Vinci painted rich people and church themes for the Catholic church. You have to realize that artist of his time needed patrons and they were the rich of their time. The Medici were patrons of the arts and so was the church. He finally went to France, where he died, to paint for the king. One of the interesting things about him is that he left a great deal of unfinished work. He would start a project and not finish it.
His father was rich, and his mother was a peasant. His father eventually won custody over him but because of his many half siblings he didn't have "so much money" but was a decent amount, kinda like middle class.
