Hey there!
Before becoming the famed father of democracy, Cleisthenes was part of the Alcmaeonid family, a rich and powerful family that had heavy influence on Greek society- and also claimed to descend from Alcmaeon. Therefore, he was part of the class of the rich, wealthy, and well off.
Hope this helps!
