The joke is also decades old, it is public domain at this point.

I have always heard it as "How do you make a small fortune in the restaurant [or magazine] business? Start with a large fortune."

For me I have heard the joke using Real Estate.

I first heard it about the time Donald and Ivanka Trump were getting divorced. "How do you become a millionaire overnight?" "Start with a billion dollars".
