'mine' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'little man invests million' is the wordplay.
'little man' becomes 'bob' (short for Robert. I am not sure about the 'little' bit.).

'million' becomes 'm' (abbreviation).
'bob' placed around 'm' is 'BOMB'.

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for bomb that I've seen before include "charge" , "(Of a theatre production) fail badly" , "Incendiary device" , "Load of money (slang)" , "See 18" .)
