It is true.
I believe that you would make £18,000 pounds interest a year off a million pounds. Which although I wouldn't complain about, isn't really a lot of money. I think it was Michael Winner who said what you are referring to....

that's about 13,000 a year. even given inflation, i'd need far, far less than that to live off for the first few years, maybe even decades.
