I cannot explain how much this has been bugging me. I read this book about 8 years ago but assume its a bit older than that. I was much to young to be reading it and didn't fully grasp its awesomeness back then.

The title is simply an amount of money in pounds.
Light coloured cover.
The main character is a very wealthy advertising mogul speaking in first person narrative. One of the opening scenes is him explaining his cocaine habit and that every person in the world is a prostitute, we're all selling ourselves for something saying that this is why he is so rich. Why advertising is the number one industry etc.
He mentions "Would you suck a d**** for some amount of money" raising said amount with other examples to prove his point.
The book is rampant with sex and drugs etc it depicts his downfall from the high point it starts at.
At some point he films a yogurt commercial and sleeps with the main lady in that advert.
I wish I could give you more but its all so vague!
Please if anyone knows anything let me know!
