I don't see how this could be definitively shown. It's probably more of a diminishing returns formula then a rising line that just levels off instantly at a specific number. And anyway a million dollars is not enough to give your family a decent standard of living for the next 50 years, so I think even if you apply your logic to this, the max efficacy would be pretty far in excess of 1 million (the top bracket given in the poll).
