Is there an existing class that gives you a great wealth for leveling up in it? Opposed to the normal money you get for levels....
if there isn't any suggestions?

Well, if you start the game with a level of Aristocrat you get a lot of starting cash.

Also, the Eberron Artificer doesn't give you money but does give you a money-saving mechanic in that you get free XP for crafting magic items.

Well people barely use profession for money so why not have something taht starts as a prof? Likeonly allowed starting at lv1 like a sorc....

Well, there's the Thrallherd...

Your Thrall gets replaced within one day of him dying, and comes with gear appropriate for level. You get the Thrall killed off somehow, steal his gear and sell it off, next day a new one comes, rinse and repeat.

Just make it subtlelike so the DM doesn't catch on.

What normal money you get for levels?

My guess is he refers to the starting money you get for building a character at higher lvls...

The Courtier class in the Rokugan Campaign Setting.

At first level, the Courtier receives an additional 50 gp for every point of Charisma modifier he or she possesses (if positive). This wealth is replenished by the Courtier's family each year. If the Courtier uses the wealth foolishly, his or her family will stop sending the additional wealth.

Additionally, the Samurai class in Oriental Adventures automatically begins with two masterwork weapons, which gives you a little extra cash to spend on things other than weapons. In the Rokugan Campaign Setting, the Samurai can also enchance his or her ancestral weapons through a ritual sacrificing experience points instead of spending wealth, so that's another way that you could go about preserving some of your precious coin.

Barring that, you could just make up a feat for it.

Laterz.

I think he was actually looking for a class that would gain straight cash instead of class features/spells/bab/feats as it levels up.

actually that counterfiter class looks interesting...no BAB, on saves, no class features at all...just a wad of cash to buy items to make up for your complete lack of ability to do ANYTHING...hmmm mabye he should get all poor saves at least...and no BAB...

Here's a quick alternative idea anyway:
Duke
A duke is an untalentented lazy dolt, that exists only to collect money from the peasantry that lives on his lands and to in turn redistribute it by hosting massive drunken parties for his untalented lazy dolt friends.

Hit dice: d4

Bab progression: 0
Saves: all poor

class abilities:
Plunder the people:starting at 1st level, a Duke collects daily gp from his serfs equal to his Duke class level squared.

a Duke may not multiclass.
