Rich and powerful man (5)

I believe the answer is:

nabob

(Other definitions for nabob that I've seen before include "he may be loaded" , "Powerful man" , "moneybags" , "Rich British merchant in India" , "Mogul governor; very rich or important person" .)

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