Landowner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landowner or Landholder is a holder of the estate in land with considerable rights of ownership or, simply put, an owner of land. In the old Europe a Landholder was usually a nobleman. See "Land ownership" and Property (ownership right) for more.
The term should not be confused with the simple "landlord".
Since wealth and landed property are now severed concepts, upper class may be more accurate, whereas the former landed gentry in the UK had them both.
