Contradictorily, spice(the most expensive thing in the universe) is only found on Arrakis.
Still, much of the Arraken population is materially poorer than a lot of people alive on earth today.
The reason is the political system in Dune: Imperial Feudalism which means the entirety of society is controlled by a private political party and since the territory is vast, some power, in this case, is delegated to Dukes and Barons.
The people of Arrakis, are also not legally allowed to own productive land or keep the proceeds of their work.
