rothschild

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a rich family member' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'writer's offspring' is the wordplay.
'writer's' becomes 'Roth's' (novelist Philip Roth).
'offspring' becomes 'child' (child is a kind of offspring).
'roths'+'child'='ROTHSCHILD'
