Era guapetona, alta
y garbosa, mujer de un papelista, y la inquilina más ordenada, o si se
quiere, más pudiente de aquella colmena.

She was a fine-looking woman, tall and graceful, the wife of a paper worker, and the tidiest—or, if you like, the most well-off—tenant in that beehive.

AI: Well-off (or well off) mostly means having enough money to live a comfortable life. It is a common way to say that someone is rich, prosperous, or well-to-do, without meaning they are super-mega-rich.
