Personally, I wouldn't even think about starting a professional studio for less that $1 million especially if you are going to 'build' it. You can gradually collect gear and record out of your home for fairly cheap, but actually building a professional studio is not cheap.
A good mixing console alone will run you close to $500,000 in itself. Soundproofing gets very expensive when done correctly. Mics are not cheap, a high quality professional studio mic can cost a few thousand easily, and then you still need a lot of extra mics for instruments and drum kits. Outboar gear is a must. EQ's, compressors, revervs, etc are all pretty expensive, and most studios have quite a few of each. All of that stuff needs to be connected. Cables will add up once everything is said and done. If you are going to be recording digitally you will need interfaces, or tape machines if you record analog. Both of which will cost quite a bit.
Once you have the gear you will need to staff it. If you plan on recording quality, you will need to make sure that the people working there actually know what they are doing. You will need someone to maintain everything. Cables and gear will wear out daily and need to be fixed.
All of that will cost a lot of money, and that isn't even getting into having a building built or renovated, or insuring the facility.

How much does it cost to build a home recording studio?
Small studios, like those having only a soundcard in their computer, cost less. Recording of a symphony orchestra or an opera is very expensive. Recording only your voice to a guitar is much cheaper.

How much does a recording studio earn?
That's a difficult question to answer ;)It's similar to asking "How much does an artist earn?". Since the answer can vary greatly I can only give you a range.Recording studios can earn anything from negative money per hour (ie: they're LOSING money by running a recording studio), anywhere to $300 or more per hour (depending on factors such as cost of the studio engineer and more).To price out a recording studio, you should look at your budget first and get testimonials of previous clients.

How much does it cost to record a album?
Depends which of the 3 studio's located inside-1,2, or studio 3. There's also a fee for Engineers as well, unless you bring your own which may have to be approved by EMI. A deposit is required, as well as a waiting period for an opening. As far as cost- I'm not at liberty to say, you'll have to send them an email(abbeyroad.com). And since they receive payment in British Pounds, book your sessions when the US dollar is at its strongest(we recorded there when the US dollar was worth only 50cents over there!). I can say it's as much as a new car for a 3 day session, including Engineer fees! The restaurant inside the studio isn't free, you pay for your meals. However, during recording sessions artists receive a fresh fruit bowl every morning and as much coffee/tea/water as you can handle. And a free Abbey road mug and T-shirt if available!

How much do recording studios cost to make a demo?
It depends on the studio. Smaller studios sometimes offer a set price for recording a demo. Usually studios charge per hour and you record whatever you have. A typical studio is probably around $50 per hour. This will vary a lot depending on location and the gear. Usually you will get a discount for booking larger amounts of time. There isn't really a standard, you would have to look into each studio to find out their pricing.
