Brewster's Millions

I was excited to learn this was a novel, as I watched the Pryor/Candy film as a kid and loved the idea of a millionaire having to work to lose all his money.

The story here is rather entertaining as well - it's a quick, light read, and it works both as a comedy in its own right, as well as a send-up of Horatio Algar-type rags-to-riches stories.
