How to get into 1) Aerobatic Competition flying? & 2) Business Jet flying?

This is just completely out of curiosity. At the moment I am just concentrating on gaining a fATPL. But I've always wondered how people get into these 2 totally different areas:

1) Competition Aerobatic Flying?

2) Corporate/ Business jet flying?

And just to be clear, I don't mean what licenses/ ratings etc you need, but how do you actually end up in there?

For 1), is it a case of having lots and lots of money to play with so you can buy your own a/c?

And for 2), is it only older guys with lots of hours in airlines, that get to fly small jets?
