Who are kings, nobles, clerisy, common-folk of the modern age?

Nobles

These are the wealthy people. The exact amount would vary from country to country but in the US, I would say millionaires to billionares.

Clerisy 

The principal indicator is control over the party line. In the US, they are likely university professors or journalists.

Kings

Tend to be of two types. If they are king of clerisy roots, they are a university professor who made a deep & lasting impression on some billionaires. If they are a king of noble roots, they probably sponsor many a university professor through his foundation. The principal indicator is that they are able to mobilize everyone else for some cause or the other.

EDIT: I now believe that the closest thing to a king is an activist leader.

Common-folk

The classic case is a freelancer.
