The Ottoman Empire came up with a complex organization of government. They used a Sultan as their ruler/leader and their government was centralized under his direction. The Sultan and his royalty were all part of the ruling class, although wealth was also a measure of power and high class status. Wealth and rank could be inherited but were also often earned.
