I think the country has a lot of resources, however my Brazillian freinds tell me that the gap between rich and poor is very sharp, the rich are few but have a very good life, while the poor are very poor.
My mother used to live in Brazil when she was a teenager - so I grew up to the tunes of samba and bossa nova. I agree that, as in many developping countries, money is very unevenly spread between the haves and the have-nots in Brazil, and when you take the average Brazilian he is quite poor. However when one looks at such things as culture and the spirit of the people I think Brazil is rich.
I remember when I was in high school (early 70s), our history teacher predicted that by the year 2000, Brazil would be the most powerful country on the planet. Oops.

As with most nations, there are high-profile people who are rich, but most are not.
In Brasil the wealth is especially concentrated though.

My answer would be somewhere inbetween.
