Does your country have anything akin to a landed gentry or plantation class? What are they like socially and politically?

In the US, while there are some people who own huge plantations and ranches, this is not as common as you'd think and is mostly limited to the deep south and far west. Most of the rich elite in America are some variety of industrialist, technologist, or financier.

Part of this is because a lot of the land was taken from the native Americans during colonization was usually parceled of into small plots by the government and handed off to individual settlers rather than being turned into giant plantations.

I'm curious what they're like in Latin America. In the US the handful of billionaires who make their money from land ownership/farming/ranching/etc. aren't anywhere near as powerful as the ones in the media/software and manufacturing industries.
