Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for but I wouldn't start a business just based on how much money I had in my pocket. I'd start a business based on what markets are within my reach, based on connections, skills etc..

Myabe you were asking what those were?

I agree that just having the capital alone is not enough reason to start a business.

I was asking more along the lines of, "what controversial/high risk business have you always wanted to start, but that requires a lot of starting capital?"

(Purely software startups probably don't fall into that category)
