$3M translates to indefinite-ish (handwaving) expenditures of about $70k-$120k per year depending on tax rate, etc.
In the US, that covers unsubsidized healthcare for two people ($30k-$40k/yr range), rent in a 2-3BR, and like a decent ish standard of living. Without working.
Somebody with $300k has a relatively different life than somebody with $3m, no?
