Most actors today are not very rich. They are struggling along with bit parts and dinner theatres, and supplementing their income by being waiters and waitresses. It was the same in Shakespeare's day.
Some actors and actresses these days can get very rich indeed, but the same could happen in Shakespeare's day. Richard Burbage and Edward Alleyn were quite well-to-do and Shakespeare did not do badly. Perhaps they were not spectacularly rich, but in order to do that back then, you pretty much had to be royalty or closely connected with the royalty.
