Me too.
Of the two groups that story falls into (rags to riches, and 'stories by Lazlo Zalezac') both are usually good. Not always, but usually.
Jay Cantrell has a couple of those as well,
- Daze in the Valley (hehe)
- Unforgettable Weeks
Argon's Suddenly Rich Kid also fits the bill.

The Outsider also would qualify.
The Outsider also would qualify.
He was already feelthy rich - from the court case - by the time that story starts.
A couple of Reluctant Sir stories would fit: Union in Crisis, and Dark Days - Darkest Before the Dawn.
Actually, he only started with a good chunk of the money, but... he was from a just-above-white-trash background and had lost pretty much everything (including family and freedom) before getting rich. The real wealth came from the trial he won against the county and town, as well as the conspirators. IIRC, it was just the initial lawyer who suicided that provided the bulk of his funds when the story started.
But Dark Days also started out after the lawsuit (and then had a flashback, much like The Outsider) IIRC.
'John Billionaire' by BlueDragon is a somewhat rags to riches story. MC is a young investment banker who finds out when the father he never knew died that he inherited several billion dollars.

BlueDragon has a couple more similar stores posted but I haven't read them so don't know if they qualify.

That's more a "riches to phenomenal riches" story.
C'mon, his mother was a billionaire, and he was already a multimillionaire well on his way to his first billion before his inheritance.
