Considering your age and finances I doubt you want to waste years learning the technical aspects of video production the hard way on your own.
So that means options are
1) Go to film school full time for a couple years, graduate and then write business proposals to get commercial clients
2) Work for a production house
3) Own a production house
Only one of these sounds like a Mogul to me
Didn't quite understand...
perhaps as an in-house lawyer
Are you already a lawyer? LOL. If not, then you're talking about getting a JD in Law and then, at a complete minimum, passing some state's bar exam in order to be hired as an IN-HOUSE LAWYER.
Just getting to THAT point could take you awhile... Of course, in California... I believe you can take the bar exam
without going to law school but you still need to have been studying law in order to become a lawyer.
Owning a production house isn't going to get you any projects either... Unless you've already created successful projects. Pitching an established work (a science-fiction novel for example) is fine. You find a science-fiction novel you like and pitch it to a studio but how do you prove to them that you can even pull it off without some kind of previous successful project?
The way MONEY and DISTRIBUTION are today? One is pretty much going to have to create and complete a project on their own first... And it better have some degree of success before a studio is going to invest millions of dollars.
I'd suggest a low-budget, high-concept science-fiction feature film with as little special effects as possible (in order to keep costs down) and get it into as many big film festivals as possible... If you can manage to get several known character actors involved? Even better.
