Not with just a single truck, probably, but a fleet of them with prime locations (like outside major tourist attractions on a hot day) and selling a premium offering for $8 per ice cream? You could probably make pretty good money doing that, especially if you have some kind of secret recipe (sprinkle some crack in every pint!).
You can become a millionaire by scaling up almost any business. I doubt you’d become a billionaire but who cares?

I believe some of these very small businesses rely on that the owner (and/or his family) is working below minimum wage; so if this is the case, it cannot scale up.
