The Magic Christian by Terry Southern
An eccentric, billionaire prankster adopts a young protégé and sets out to stage escalating, often grotesque social experiments in which money is used as bait to expose and ridicule human greed, hypocrisy and the corrupting effects of wealth; the story is a dark, satirical comedy of outrageous stunts and moral provocation that forces characters and society to reveal their basest impulses.
