After thinking this over in my head i am confused so i thought that i would post my thoughts here.
Right say we have a Footballer who is earning one hundred thousand pounds a week. Now technically he is still a "worker" as he is being employed by the Football club's owner to do a job (Play Football) and earns a wage for this (And a bloody good one at that too).
Now lets say that the Footballer is "wise" with his money and starts investing it or even starts up a business that employs other people thus making the Footballer a member of the Bourgeois class.
However he is still earning money as a Footballer!
So he is technically both a worker (As he earns a wage selling his labour) and a member of the Bourgeois class (Employing other people in one of his businesses who's labour creates the wealth that is another source of income for him) at the same time!
Is this possible or have i got confused somewhere along the line and have misunderstood something?
