This is a tough question. Many variables need to be considered. One's expected life span, current health, proposed standard of living, inflation's effect over one's remaining life span and the relative cost of living where one expects to retire come to mind for starters. Each case will differ. Some will be able to get by on $1M - $2M; others may need $1M or more a year.
