How much money would you need magicked to allow you to shed fundraising and infrastructure, etc, and just hire and hole up with a dream team of hyper-competent maths wonks? Restated, at which set amount would SIAI be comfortably able to aggressively pursue its long-term research?

He once mentioned a figure of US $10 million / year. Feels like he's made a similar remark more recently, but it didn't show in my brief search.
