Crossword Genius

Brought up with money, by the sound of it (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bred

'brought up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'money by the sound of it' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'bread' (bread is a kind of money).
'by the sound of it' shows a homophone (sound like).
'bread' is a homophone of 'BRED'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for bred that I've seen before include "Developed (animal variety)" , "Brought up (to behave in particular way)" , "Propagated, raised" , "Brought up, propagated" , "Gave rise to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
