Do you need a ridiculous amount of money to retire in Switzerland?

@xmj

if AVS is levied on the wealth when not in employment at all, get some very part time job - sit on a board, perhaps, or help a mate grow his business on an on-and-off (5%, say) basis

This potential loophole is closed. It was discussed here

Summary: "Anyone who works for less than nine months a year or works less than 50 % of normal working hours is regarded as not being in permanent full-time employment.” [means: Pay AVS based on wealth]
