Excessive is a different threshold for each person. For some, it's "so much that I've lost touch with the reality of human struggle." For others, it's "just enough so I can stop pretending I'm not a giant douche."

It's less about the specific amount and more about the comparative relation. Having a lot more money than other people fucks you up; if you're interested in the specifics, Some More News did a dive into the literature on it, and they have citations.
