Future business guidance

Hi Guys!  

As a university student studying the UK i was curious as to which financial institution would be better to start, a hedge fund or PE firm or IB? Can I even start a PE firm or IB? Furthermore which city would be better to start at NYC or london? Which city is the true financial hub? 


I've always been interested in starting my own financial firm and then expanding the whole empire by taking over other businesses in different sectors, also since I know reaching the MD position is virtually impossible being my own boss would be the best route to take. 


Any guidance would be really appretaited. 


-> I do have money saved up, but in this case, let's assume money isn't a factor. 


Thank you!
