Roughly 300 points. World GDP is under 100 trillion US$. GURPS$ are roughly equal to US$ at TL8. In scientific notation, world GDP is $1E14. Value of everything in the world is a really complicated concept, but let's put it at 100 times GDP, $1E16.

TL8 starting wealth is $20,000, $2E4. Multimillionaire 1 gets you 1000x that, 2E7. So you need 9 more levels of Multimillionaire, which cost 25 points each, added to the 75 points for Multimillionaire 1, making 300 points. 1 point of Independent income then gets you an income of 1% of your capital, per month, well in excess of world GDP.
