Has anyone read an awesome story/book about heirs who are put to the test in order to receive an inheritance?

Brewster’s Millions - The plot concerns a young man whose grandfather leaves him $1 million in a will, but a competing will from another relative requires he must spend the $1 million in the first year or forfeit a $7 million inheritance from the other relative.

Oh, and of course there is Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

It sounds like Ready Player One also takes that tack.

Jill Churchill's Grace and Favor series is about siblings who must live in their great-uncle's "cottage" for 10 years to claim their full inheritance.

I was supposed to get the 7th book in the series through early reviewers but it never arrived. I don't think it was ever published. The 6 previous books in the series are enjoyable, though.
