Person whose power derives from wealth (9)

I believe the answer is:

plutocrat

(Other definitions for plutocrat that I've seen before include "powerful rich type" , "One could bankroll the movie?" , "One who's power derives from wealth" , "Person who derives power from wealth" , "Richest man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
