Being wealthy was charged (6)
I believe the answer is:
loaded
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'being wealthy' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'charged' is the second definition.
('load' can be a synonym of 'charge')
'was' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for loaded that I've seen before include "Weighted" , "Of gun, containing bullets" , "Charged with ammunition" , "drunk- > biased" , "Carrying cargo; wealthy" .)
