Stopping at nothing, the wealthy and powerful underworld boss (5)
I believe the answer is:
pluto
'underworld boss' is the definition.
(Roman god of the underworld)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
(Other definitions for pluto that I've seen before include "animated dog" , "Ninth planet of solar system" , "Planet beyond Neptune" , "underworld boss" , "Dwarf planet" .)
