Legal Question in Immigration Law in Texas

Is there a way to bypass the affidavit of support with a big enough asset net value, if yes, how much are we talking about (5 times the poverty guideline for the household size?). Besides, is filing a petition for an alien relative (spouse) ;with both spouses being in the United States; possible with a visa waiver or is a tourism visa required? Thanks in advance!
