Frodo meanwhile suffered for the rest of his life in Middle Earth from the annual pain of being stabbed by the Morgul blade and also from being stung by Shelob and lived a relatively detached and solitary existence (not unlike Bilbo). Aragorn reunited with Arwen and became king of Gondor in the FA, Sam, Merry, and Pippin all settled down, got married, and started families and became prominent members of the Shire community, Legolas and Gimli eventually traveled overseas together to the Undying Lands, and Gandalf was allowed to return home (since Valinor is ultimately home for him) with his mission in Middle Earth complete. And he's probably the only member of the Fellowship who never really got one (aside from Boromir obviously but he at least regained his honor before he died and recognized Aragorn as his king). While that is true I'm not sure any character in the Fellowship deserved a happy ending more than Frodo did (with the exception of Sam).
He may never be the type of person who thinks of himself as an aristocratic individual (because that's never been Sam's character) but he effectively became one of the most influential hobbits in the Shire during the Fourth Age no question. And I'd argue Sam did that when he was elected mayor for seven consecutive terms considering the mayor is the highest governing body of authority in the Shire and in his case he was also assigned as a protector of the Northern Kingdoms of Middle Earth by Aragorn as mayor of the Shire which grants him even more considerable influence. There's influential and renowned families like the Bagginses, Tooks, and Brandybucks and then there's those who work their way up the hierarchy (which all the rich hobbit families started out that way) into raising their family's respective influence around town. In the Shire there's no royal family or anything like that (and I don't think Tolkien wrote the Shire entirely drawing inspiration from medieval era England, that's what kingdoms like Gondor and Rohan are meant to represent). I think the societal classes in the Shire are a little different than they are in England though.
