      I mean the surname Patel identifies him as a member of the literal "moneyed caste", whose generational wealth came from rural landownership so you're not wrong.

          The term Patel derives from the word Patidar, i.e. "one who holds (owns) pieces of land (called patis)". Traditionally, it was a status name referring to village chieftains during the medieval ages and was later retained as successive generations stemmed out into communities of land owners.

          It represented the community of land-owning farmers (in contrast to the much more numerous farm-workers) and later (during the British Raj) Patels were amongst the prominent businessmen, agriculturalists and merchants. Today, nearly 1 in 10 people of Indian origin in the US is a Patel, owing in part to their historical wealth.
