In most cases i would say it is true, and it is definitely a lot easier to make money if you already have lots of it.
I started this business 11 years ago with about a $2500 investment into a new computer and paying someone to build me a website. I've made lots of money with out having had a pot to piss in, but that is not the norm.
On the flip side I know of someone locally who inherited a ton of money, he purchased a lot of land several years ago in areas just out side of town. About 20 years later due to expansion that land is worth a lot of money, millions more than he paid for it.
People who have a lot of money can invest in long term deals, which will pay out a lot of money over time. People who do not have lots of money need to invest it into deals that will yield results now because they need the money to live off of. It makes it a whole lot harder to be successful if you starting off from day one broke vs someone who already has millions to play with.
