I believe the answer is:

live like a lord

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

'one has' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'be uncommonly rich to do so' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'be' could be 'live' (living is a kind of being) and 'live' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for live like a lord that I've seen is " Have lavish lifestyle".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
