Rich people may have owned Factories, where they employed young people to work for them. They could have been a dealer: buying cheap items and selling them for a higher price to make a profit. They could have been working for the king in some way, for which you would be absolutey loaded! There are many jobs they could've been, but I agree it is quite a tricky question.

Most of the population (over 90 %) lived in small villages and made their living from farming. Under Tudor rule England became a more peaceful and richer place. Towns grew larger and the mining of coal, tin and lead became very popular.HomelifeThere were none of the comforts we have today. Water was collected from village pumps, wells or streams but was often polluted.Tudor ToiletsToilets were called 'Privies' and were not very private at all. They were often just a piece of wood over a bowl or a hole in the ground.People would wipe their bottoms with leaves or moss and the wealthier people used soft lamb's wool.In palaces and castles, which had a moat, the lords and ladies would retire to a toilet set into a cupboard in the wall called a garderobe. Here the waste would drop down a shaft into the moat below.GarderobeThe RichWealthy Tudors loved to show of their riches.
