midas

(Other definitions for midas that I've seen before include "Mythical king who had the power to turn everything to gold" , "His touch made gold" , "Greek mythological king with money-making touch" , "King of Phrygia who had a golden touch" , "I'm sad (anag) -- king of Phrygia" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
