Depends on age and lifestyle. $1 million is pretty stout if you’re 18,
but not enough for a very comfortable retirement at 62.
If the definition of wealthy is that the wealth produces enough income that you never have to work or worry about inflation or market swings, then it is probably at least $5 million and could be a lot more if you have an expensive lifestyle to maintain.
Obviously a more modest lifestyle could require less, but then I don’t think we’d call that wealthy - maybe comfortable?
