I've known a lot of unhappy business owners -- often the ones whose business failed, though not exclusively. I wouldn't put a percentage on it, though I also wouldn't put a percentage on unhappy lawyers.
I also know a lot of lawyers who are business owners. Don't know how many of the "let the help do the work," but I don't know many successful business owners who do that either.
I guess what I'm saying is this: That when people bitch about how miserable it is to be a lawyer, and the happy alternative they describe includes things like lords, kings, and the kind of business owners who make a lot of money without working, I have to wonder if these were people who expected a pony for their fourth birthday.
That said, I would be happier as Megan Fox's highly compensated love toy than I am as a lawyer, so where's my fucking pony?
