Fortune made breaking the law (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wealth

'fortune' is the definition.
(both can mean riches or money)

'breaking the law' is the wordplay.
'breaking' indicates an anagram.
'the'+'law'='thelaw'
'thelaw' is an anagram of 'WEALTH'.

'made' is the link.

(Other definitions for wealth that I've seen before include "Possessions and resources" , "Mammon" , "Prosperity" , "Riches, worldly goods" , "'Riches, affluence (6)'" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
