Those in the money? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

them

'those' is the definition.

'the money?' is the wordplay.
'money?' becomes 'm' (abbreviation used in economics).
'the'+'m'='THEM'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for them that I've seen before include "Certainly not us, the other lot" , "Let -- eat cake" , "people objectively" , "Perhaps, the Opposition" , "(To/from) those people" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
