If you're a middle-class citizen, then you have more luxury than any royalty in the past.
This is mostly thanks to advancements in science and technology.
Today the internet and our phones play a significant role in our day to day lives.
In the future, something even better will come along.
Back in the day only royalties had balconies but now almost everyone does.
Even if you become the richest person in the world, all you can buy is limited to what exist today which if history is an indication will pale in comparison to the luxuries that will become available 100-200 years from now.
Of course we live on a planet and the earth has a finite resource which means the middle class won't be able to live like Bill Gates in the future, the amount of space available to him would be impossible to provide for everyone given our resources.
So I hope this gave you some perspective.
