discord.py - How to send a private message to a server owner?

I am trying to make my bot dm the server owner whenever it joins a new server. I have tried this:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
     user = await client.fetch_user(guild.owner)
     await client.send_message(user,"hi there!")

But it gives this error message:

In user_id: Value "myname" is not snowflake

I can't figure out how to get the user id of the guild owner, i looked through the documentation but i couldn't find anything.

Here is a solution. You can just call the owner argument on a Guild:

@client.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    owner = guild.owner
    await owner.send("hi there!")
