@evan Nothing above $999,999 per person.

Enough to be set for life, but not overwhelmingly rich to the point of mental illness that we see with these shillionaires.

If your threshold is "set for life", which I'm interpreting as able to spend the median income yearly without earning more, a million dollars is set for 12 years in the USA based on the median income of $83,730 in 2024.

Someone with 60 years left to live would need about $5M in a savings account that keeps up with inflation. That's based on an overly simplistic view of net worth as liquid cash, which is not how it works for most people with a middle-class or higher level of wealth.
