    Depends if you want rich people play money or just comfy people play money.

    Also if you want to say buy a beach front house in california or a nice mountain home in Colorado. That alone can run you a few millions dollars upfront not to mention a the on going costs.

    100m is honestly not a lot of money if you plan to not for for the next handful of decades and want to actually enjoy a rich life style.

    10 mill will put you in a nice middle class home and keep you living a middle class life style for the same length of time.

    Wealth to life style scales pretty well from 10 to 100 million dollars when your looking at a 35 year span.

      and want to actually enjoy a rich life style.

      I guess my imagination is not good enough but I cannot imagine what I’d need much more than 1M per year in passive income for. 100K every 5 years easily gets me the car I want, 2M up-front would probably be enough to get me the house I want. Perhaps another 2M for a second house in some warm climate. I could pay for all of that in 1-5 years of passive income if I had $10M in investments.

      I’ve been to Monaco. I’ve seen rich people. I didn’t see anything there I wanted.
