You can find answers to this in Chapter 1.
I guess that you would probably say that Nick is from the upper class. That depends a bit on how you define the upper class, but he would most likely qualify.
We know that he is from a family that is pretty rich. He says that the family has been "prominent" and "well to do" for three generations in some city in the Midwest. We know also that he went to Yale, which in those days was a college that you only went to if you were pretty well-off.
However, Nick is not so rich as to be able to afford a really big house while working in New York, so he must not be filthy rich.
