Strictly and historically speaking, class is not so much about money as about social position–who are your friends and relative, how are you regarded, and how long your family has been what they are. That is probably still more true in England than in the US or Australia. There are people of socially upper class who don’t have much money–people who get invited to the best parties but can’t afford a lavish lifestyle. Economically, as the term has come to be used, at least in the United States, I guess you could say a person who has enough money to live in a style higher than the big majority of the population without worrying about how to pay for it. If I had to put a number on it, I’d say it means a steady income of over, say, $250,000 US per year.
