Later, old pro distributed crude earnings (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

petrodollar

'crude earnings' is the definition.
(money made from crude oil)

'later old pro distributed' is the wordplay.
'distributed' indicates an anagram.
'later'+'old'+'pro'='lateroldpro'
'lateroldpro' with letters rearranged gives 'PETRODOLLAR'.
