Greenspan loved Ayn Rand. Greenspan was Fed chief during a period of unmatched increases in American prosperity. Thus she may indirectly have created more wealth than any other novelist. Ever.

Novelist with most direct creation of wealth would be Ian Fleming, once you count movie gross and consumer product placement. If it weren't for him, the American military industrial complex would have collapsed under its own weight, the British car industry would have been entirely dead by 1967, and the NRA would be going around saying automatic handguns were for dead Nazis, girls and pussies. Somewhere in heaven there is a steamroom where lots of white men are lined up to give Ian Fleming handjobs.
