Is there a version of the Prosperity Gospel in religions other than Christianity?

There's something to this that's more than just a joke. Catholicism, and most religions, have you pour extra money at some point (while alive, or at death) into the church. You can get a feel for this in a place like Myanmar or Thailand (maybe India? haven't been there).

You got the "personal" payoffs of religion and being rich through your mass/temple whatever. Protestantism bypassed all that for theological reasons. Judaism did so kinda pragmatically (didn't make sense to show off what wealth there was to angry outsider gentiles).
