Study up on Martine Rothblatt.

Per Wikipedia, "she is responsible for launching several communications satellite companies, including the first nationwide vehicle location system (Geostar, 1983), the first private international spacecom project (PanAmSat, 1984), the first global satellite radio network (WorldSpace, 1990), and the first non-geostationary satellite-to-car broadcasting system (Sirius Satellite Radio, 1990)."

All this, back when running a commercial space company wasn't as easy as today :-) And she did NOT have millions like Musk.

Wow, such a interesting life and career just from browsing her Wikipedia page.
