riches

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'money' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'he's after enough of a price' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'enough of a price' becomes 'ric' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'hes' put after 'ric' is 'RICHES'.

'to make a lot of' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for riches that I've seen before include "Great wealth" , "Lots of money and expensive things" , "lot of lolly" , "Abundance of material possessions and resources" , "Material wealth" .)
