In many ways even the nobles where poor compared to the modern American middle class. The only thing they had well above the typical middle class American was land, and the ability to order people around (more power than wealth but if you consider the serfs to be basically slaves and thus property you might consider it wealth). But in just about every other way the average American is wealthier than medieval nobles.
