Close, but it needed some minor fixing.

Same thing.  Some people are interested in calling them something different, but they play the same role.  They own the means of production and profit over the labor of the workers.

The only difference is how the assets were obtained. Oligarchs tend to seize control, often by extra-legal means. Capitalists legally obtain their booty. I'm not 100% sure it really matters, since the capitalists have jiggered the system to allow them the same freedoms under cover of law. You're right; the results are the same.
