As Cyndi mentioned, how much money a business person can make can vary quite a bit depending on the position and experience. Some folks even start their own businesses rather than work for others, although most start a business after getting experience first.
I'd recommend reading, and doing some thinking before looking into pay and salary data. A few websites to start getting a sense for what people in business do might be Bloomberg, Reuters, CNN Money, Forbes, SeekingAlpha, etc.
Personally, I spent many hours reading and thinking before I understood what I wanted to do for work.

You're asking a very general question. There are many types of business and businessmen. Generally anyone who is really good will make more money. So if you pick a business and a role you love, let's say Finance as an example, you are more likely to make good money. Studying Finance and Accounting can be a good foundation to success in business. However, businessmen can manage workers, manage projects, or perform sales. Think about a field that interests you, and then see what kind of business positions are needed. In Pharma, you'd do better having more science/biology knowledge. In Insurance or Financial industries, more Management and Finance knowledge. In Tech, you can span many segments of business positions. Businessmen can make anywhere from 30k to 500k annually, it really depends on so many variables.
Thank you!
