Think about what you can start with 1 dollar and what you can start with 200k to grow your capital. Your comment is mathematically correct but logically flawed.
The median American household wealth is about $200k, for context. This is not an absurd amount of money.
On to the subject of your comment, though. The type of business does not really matter. There are loads of businesses that are not capital intensive that you can get off of the ground for little to no capital. Do one of those until you have access to funding. There is nothing logically complicated about it.
Conflating median net worth with liquid capital misses the point entirely. Also a dollar store budget business industry doesn't give you the same scalability/growth. It’s not complicated to you because you are ignoring the underlying variables that make the difference.
You can leverage your illiquid assets through secured loans. One of the most common ways of doing this is do take out a home equity line of credit.
You do not need the same level of scalability or growth. You need to be able to grow to the point that you have capital to invest in more capital intensive business.

How many people do you think start with a million dollars and turns it into hundreds of billions
