London perhaps first for the wealthy investor (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

capitalist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wealthy investor' is the definition.
'capitalist' can be an answer for 'investor' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'wealthy' bit.

'london perhaps first' is the wordplay.
'london perhaps' becomes 'capital' (London is an example).
'first' becomes 'ist' (ist resembles 1st).
'capital'+'ist'='CAPITALIST'

'for the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for capitalist that I've seen before include "rich man" , "Marx's bourgeois - a static lip (anag)" , "businessperson, maybe" , "Profit-driven person" , "business person?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
