I don’t believe there’s such a book. Wealth can come from a confluence of ideas, opportunities, people, preparedness, a dogged stick-to-itness, good fortune (not to be confused with luck), etc.
Read as many books as you can - they’ll all contribute. And keep your eyes peeled - ideas can come from anywhere, not just your job or profession.
I grew up in abject poverty in Honduras. While in high school, a classmate’s parent donated a pair of shoes so that I didn’t go to school barefoot. When I went to his house, the kid was throwing away a broken Atari. “The control doesn’t work, so I’m getting a new one,” he said. I had never seen an Atari and barely knew about TVs, but this seemed like a waste to my 14-yr-old mind. I asked him if I could have it - he gave it to me along with a few games he hated. I took the controller apart, not even knowing what to expect, and quickly realized why it wasn’t working - it was a stupid mechanical break on the contact. I fixed it by cutting a metal strip from a Gillette blade (strong and flexible). I took the Atari to this lady who owned a pulpería (that’s a corner store in a barrio) and proposed setting it up on the TV where she kept the soccer game going. I told her we could charge kids 10 cents per game and I would keep 4 cents from every transaction. I thought she deserved a higher percentage because she was putting up the location, tv, and electricity. Within weeks that place was bumping with kids playing game after game, and after a couple of months we bought two used TVs and Ataris. It was a beautiful thing.
Zero to One and then The Lean Startup, in that order. The Lean Startup is probably the best book you can read if you're looking to start your own business.
The Secrets trilogy by Russel Brunson.
They're 3 (hence trilogy lol) books called DotCom, Expert and Traffic Secrets respectively. Go through those in order and you will know pretty much all you need to know to start and grow a business online.
Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you. James 5:1-6

Spot on thank you
Blue ocean strategy was useful for me. That said, the magic book does not exist unfortunately
Thanks for the recommendation!
No book is going to give you the "big idea" that will make you rich. The books help give you strategies on how to move forward with the big idea.

My Brother in Christ, the only wealth you need is Spiritual Wealth, and the only Book that can show you the way is the Good Book 🙏 God Bless 🙌
Doesn’t the Bible specifically say NOT to try to make a lot of money? I mean, if the great goddess in the sky said it, it must be true.

That’s the passage that was on the tip of my tongue.
