Mean individual (9)

I believe the answer is:

skinflint

(Other definitions for skinflint that I've seen before include "Very ungenerous or stingy person" , "A miserly person, tightwad" , "A mean, miserly person" , "Niggard, scrooge" , "A miserly person like Scrooge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
