You need at least $10 Mil to be totally set and comfortable. You can't live "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" on that number, but certainly that will provide for a relatively luxurious lifestyle of your choice in your later years.
The older you get though I find material stuff isn't as exciting as it used to be. Your values change as well. You don't go after the $ per say, its more just to enjoy the game itself. The money just naturally happens if you do good business.
I used to be totally into luxury cars, now I love SUV's and not having people staring at me all the time like you get when you drive fancy wheels. It gets old real fast. Got burned out on the big house thing too. You never will use all the extra rooms. Its so funny. We built a library in our California house and the only rooms we used all the time were the bedroom, kitchen and family room, just like a regular house. Hated the ridiculous overhead and workers charging extra cause they knew you had bucks.
