'money' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'party lines followed by retired artist' is the wordplay.
'party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party).
'lines' becomes 'll' (I've seen this in other clues).
'followed by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'retired' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'artist' becomes 'ra' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'ra' backwards is 'ar'.
'do'+'ll'+'ar'='DOLLAR'

'with' is the link.
