Tycoon

BARON

This noble title often follows "robber" in historical business legends.

"Tycoon" often refers to a wealthy, powerful businessperson, but in crosswords, it can also hint at a noble title. Here, the answer "BARON" fits because a baron is historically a high-ranking aristocrat—sometimes associated with wealth and influence, much like a tycoon. The clue plays on the dual meaning of "tycoon" as both a business magnate and a figure of authority, making "BARON" a clever alternative.
