I am retired and have no financial concerns. However, I consider myself to be middle class. I think a net worth of more than $25 million would be needed to be considered wealthy.

I think $10 million is about right to call someone "rich". That much money can provide interest of around $500K/yr to live on while still maintaining your principle. While $500K is a lot of money to be sure, it will not fund the lifestyle of what Americans perceive as "rich" with multiple homes worth millions and a fleet of exotic cars. But it certainly can provide for a very comfortable life.

I agree. About $10M. I’d consider $250K/yr for a household as very well off. $500K/yr is a different arena. Life changing money there. Gets you too retirement much quicker.
