A (Sick) Master

Someone who owns (things, land, people). Someone who has mastered an art.

"Let the man who has acquired Enough not ask for MORE./ A house and acreage, a pile of bronze and gold coins,/ Have never been able to lower the sick master's fever/ Or drive out his worries."

Horace, Epistles, To Lollius Maximus (22 B.C.)
