'heartlessly con heir to make money' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'heartlessly con heir to make' is the wordplay.
'heartlessly' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'to make' indicates an anagram.
'con' with its centre removed is 'cn'.
'cn'+'heir'='cnheir'
'cnheir' with letters rearranged gives 'ENRICH'.

Can you help me to learn more?
