'Owners' in the Bible

For there was no one needy among them, because those who were owners of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds from the sales

Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave girl met us who had a spirit that enabled her to foretell the future by supernatural means. She brought her owners a great profit by fortune-telling.

But when her owners saw their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the authorities.
