Legendary king of great wealth (7)

I believe the answer is:

croesus

(Other definitions for croesus that I've seen before include "King, a byword for wealth" , "Person of great wealth" , "Very rich person" , "Fabled rich man" , "King of fabulous wealth" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
