Magnates (7)

I believe the answer is:

tycoons

'magnates' is the definition.
('tycoon' can be a synonym of 'magnate')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tycoons that I've seen before include "Business magnates" , "Very wealthy or powerful business people" , "Powerful businessmen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com, the Universal, the Thinks.com, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Telegraph and the King Feature Syndicate.
