"Enough" for what? Enough for yourself? Enough for yourself and your spouse? Enough to educate, feed, and otherwise take care of your children (or grandchildren, and on down etc?)? Enough so that they'll never be homeless? Enough so that they can get two graduate degrees each? Enough so that they can live in a nice house vs Bill Gates' house? (Enough so that they can fly private jets like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Al Gore, John Kerry, all the while lecturing everyone else about global warming?) Enough to take care of and help fund things you believe in? e.g. Bezos, Elon with Blue Origin and SpaceX. Hal Finney with Alcor.org (and the necessary technologies to help it work)? Enough for Hal to take care of his family now that he is gone, fund them at Alcor, revive them and then ensure they won't be in poverty when/if it works? People funding charities they support - Carnegie with libraries for example. Gates with vaccines. So it really depends on your goals how much is enough. I will say, if you have to do something illegal, it isn't worth it. Just ask Bernie Madoff and his ilk. My view: - private jets? who needs them, just conspicuous consumption. - A 300 foot yacht? Ditto. - A 300000 square foot house? Ditto. - 10 cars? Ditto. A nice, well built home with a nice, safe car, that is sufficient for me. Being able to pay for kid's (and their kid's) educations, helping them that is good too. Helping to start a charity to help the sick, and fund some of it, that is nice too. Being able to help the elderly, that is nice too. Helping people via things like "March of Dimes", ditto. It is certainly better to have individuals make these choices for themselves than to have some bureaucrat who hasn't ever earned a living make it for everyone.
