Plantation owners' earnings varied significantly based on the type of crop, the size of the plantation, and the labor system in place. In the antebellum South, for example, successful cotton plantation owners could earn substantial profits, often in the tens of thousands of dollars annually, depending on market conditions and labor costs. However, the wealth was highly concentrated, with a small percentage of plantation owners controlling a significant portion of the wealth generated by slave labor. Overall, the economic success of plantation owners was deeply tied to the exploitation of enslaved individuals.
