European who got rich in India (5)

I believe the answer is:

nabob

(Other definitions for nabob that I've seen before include "Devotional painting" , "he may be loaded" , "Person of conspicuous wealth or high status" , "moneybags" , "Wealthy influential person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
