True, but that means you Usually need a lot of rich friends or family
to get started since running for a major office is more than a full time
job so you need enough backing to build up enough support to be able to
take a real shot at it. A person who couldn't afford to not be working
and wasn't able to pay to fly back and forth all across the country would
have a hard time getting enough people aware of them to get financial
backing to continue on I would think.

It Could happen if someone were well enough known for some reason
before they decided to run, although most famous people are rich too.
