Yep, he made a vague request and said his lifestyle is "expensive" so I gave a vague answer that would cater to an "expensive" lifestyle accordinglyAnd this is why people work until they drop, thinking they need that much
How much you need is completely dependent on lifestyle. I have nothing like that amount and stopped work two years ago, in my 50's. Saying that, £1.5-2m isn't going to go very far if he spends half a million a year so you can't give a figure unless he does.
Also, to be fair, just because you stopped working on your 50s with a lot less doesn't mean you have a good strategy to get you to your 80s with the lifestyle you are looking for (I mean you probably have one, but from what you said we don't know that).
