Law they bent, being rich (7)

I believe the answer is:

wealthy

'rich' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'law they bent' is the wordplay.
'bent' is an anagram indicator.
'law'+'they'='lawthey'
'lawthey' with letters rearranged gives 'WEALTHY'.

'being' is the link.

(Other definitions for wealthy that I've seen before include "Rich and prosperous" , "Affluent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
