William Shakespeare's father was a successful glove maker and his mother was the daughter of a wealthy, land owning farmer. As such, in today's standards, Shakespeare could be described as being of the upper middle class.

Shakespeare owned a one-eighth interest in the acting company with which he worked, and a similar share in the Globe and the Blackfriars playhouses. He owned a suite of apartments (what we would call a condo, today) in the same building that housed the Blackfriars. He bought the second largest house for his family in his hometown of Stratford. He died rich and famous.

No. He made a lot of money from his plays. He was the Andrew Lloyd Webber of his day. When he retired he bought the second biggest house in his home town of Stratford-upon-Avon.
