Position of Privilege
This feature is identical to the feature of the same name for the Noble background (see PHB pg 135). Additionally, you are assumed to have a position of relative wealth and privilege by name (birthright), position, title or holdings that generates wealth on your behalf. The exact nature of this income is not material and it never generates actual gold or other monetary wealth, but nevertheless provides you with many of the benefits of being in the upper class.
Comfortable Lifestyle
You have investments or holdings which allow you to live a Comfortable lifestyle without the need to have a trade you practice daily. See PHB pg 158 for more information on this lifestyle. Note that you do not actually receive a monetary income; it is assumed that your name, title, position or other situation provides you with this level of comfort with little or no need for you to work.
Personal Servant
You receive the services of a personal, unskilled servant like a laborer, porter, maid, groom or similar servant. Your estate, title or holdings pay for this servant.
Wealthy Lifestyle
You have investments or holdings which allow you to live a Wealthy lifestyle without the need to have a trade you practice daily. See PHB pg 158 for more information on this lifestyle. Note that you do not actually receive a monetary income; it is assumed that your name, title, position or other situation provides you with this level of comfort with little or no need for you to work.
