He was a nobleman, a close relative to the Prince. The Capulets were rich but did not have social standing. A wedding between Juliet and Paris would be one of those matches between an aspiring wealthy middle class family and an impoverished aristocratic one, which is why Capulet was so strongly in favour of it.
