$100M now? Some people are apparently harder to please than the sage and former governor of California:
"Money doesn't make you happy. I now have $50 million but I was just as happy when I had $48 million." - Arnold Schwarzenegger
This is, of course, a joke, but there is clearly a couple thresholds that are decisive: the first around the point of "no longer need to work immediately" and the second at "no longer need to work at all if one is willing to have a modest retirement". I suspect that if one is sort of person who thinks that $20M or $100M is a important further threshold for some calculation ("all of my descendants will be able to go to college, for the next 12 generations" or "I need to be able to buy anything that I can current conceive of wanting") there's probably no real end to it.
