Anyone who owns the means of production (productive land, factories, etc) or who makes a profit through the exploitation of wage labour -- employing someone for a wage which is less than the value their labour provides. The implication is that the member of the bourgeoisie can therefore live off of that labour, since it is creating surplus value for them. It is the bourgeoisie's monopoly over the means of production which allows them to enter into this kind of uneven exchange; the theory is that since the workers don't own the means of living, they are more or less indirectly forced by economic pressure to enter into the exchange - sell their labour - in order to get a living wage.
