Person who came home from India having made a fortune (5)

I believe the answer is:

nabob

(Other definitions for nabob that I've seen before include "Wealthy influential person" , "Fat cat: governor in India during the Mogul empire" , "Mogul governor; very rich or important person" , "he may be loaded" , "Magnate; formerly one with Eastern wealth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
