When it goes beyond caring for your needs, and (balanced) wants. When you begin to focus on "How can I keep more of it and pay less to the government", or when you begin to be paranoid about somebody trying to steal it, and when it becomes the main focus in your life... then it's becoming "too much".

I believe a person has too much money when it ceases to be about the economic well-being and becomes 'a way to keep score'. You frequently see this at the very top levels of business and sports. For example, right before Enron went bankrupt, Chairman/CEO Ken Lay was very focused on buying a new corporate jet for Enron's fleet. Not because the existing planes were substandard, but because they weren't as spiffy as the newest latest greatest jets that other companies had. Or, exemplified by former NBA player Latrell Sprewell's classic quote of "$9 million per year is an insult. I've got a family to feed!" Clearly, Sprewell could feed his family on much less than $9 million, but he felt that players inferior to him were making more than $9 million, so clearly he must be 'worth' more than $9 million. Once money ceases to have economic meaning and is only a surrogate for ego-stroking, that's too much money.
