If you have 10million to play with?
8 million in pretty much guaranteed bonds/government backed investments. at 4% thats $ 320k a year
1 million in a little riskier mutual funds at 6% that's $60k a year
500k in stocks you believe in at 7% growth $35k a year
500k in high risk stocks/investments at 10% on a realistic growth $50k
= $465k a year
Should be a good amount to live on - if you're good with spending on the first few years and let it compound, you should be good for your lifetime I'd think.

*am I being too optimistic with the '%' ?*
