How rich to own and operate a Spitfire?

I have been doing a bit of daydreaming recently. What is the consensus on how rich you need to be to own and operate a Spitfire, say, 50 hours per year?

Reckon £1m purchase price and £2500 per flying hour.

I would say you need to be worth roughly £10m so that it doesn't hurt too much.

Thoughts? Perhaps some Spitfire owners may like to comment....?!
