For Marx (and Lenin) the "haves" were those who controlled the societal mode of material production, and also the societal modes of symbolic production. The "have-not's" were those who were dependent upon those controlling, particularly, the material mode of production. This is all very simply operationalized in their concept of "Social Relations to Productions." Social class from a Marxist perspective (as opposed to a Weberian perspective) is defined by one's relationship to the predominate means of production. Either you are in a "controlling' relationship (bourgeois - owners) or an exploitative relationship (proletariat - workers.) - So from this view, Peyton Manning or Denzel Washington are essentially workers - so is not always about money or prestige. The Weberain critique of brings into the discourse of social class prestige (social honor) and consumptive capacity (financial resources.)

The "haves" ( are people who have a lot of money and has more than others). The have-nots (people with not a lot of money and have less than others)
