Certainly rich enough to allow William and his siblings to go to school and live very comfortably. William Shakespeare's father, John, was a successful glovemaker and alderman (although he later lost his wealth and position), whilst his mother Mary (née Arden) was the daughter of a wealthy landowner.
His father was wealthy enough that he became involved in lending money with interest (although this is perfectly normal practice today, in those days the practice of charging interest on a loan was highly illegal and known as usury) worth tens of thousands of pounds in today's terms.
