I think it's 10 million. I got it at around 28. But then, I was in perma-debt from level 5. Had to smack a few SG mates for saving me from certain death too.

Brief topic change: Haven't seen any of the plaque locations discussed in this thread. Found a history plaque in Grandville at this location:
2759.5, -339.7, 791.7
It discusses the fate of President Marchand, the former leader of the Rogue Isles. I suspect it's for the long-fabled Arachnos Rising history badge.

Check on the vidiotmaps forums. We have all the 4 plaque locations for Arachnos Rising listed.
I can verify that Megalomaniac requires at least one of the following, in addition to Last Stand:
Rocketman
Reinforcement
Goon Squad
Raider
Webmaster
Crystal Keeper
My money is on Rocketman as the trigger.
Also, High Pain Threshold appears to require at least one of:
Kil Skuls
Grand Lanista
Beautiful
Gangbuster
Silver Bullet
This was determined through my having HPT but not MLM, and my parter in crime having the reverse. We compared our other badges, and those were the only differences.
Hope this helps.

So far by my searches i have found a number of badges required for the accolades
so far for High Pain Threshold, u need:
Deathless
Gangbuster
Technofreak
Locked and Loaded
But good luck on finding that other Meglomaniac required badge
I earned Rocketman last night, recopied my toon and then grabbed Last Stand again. I still did not earn Megalomaniac.
It cost me about 180K in debt too, with PvP [censored] ASing me on the launchpad despite my explaining what my team was doing (I'll remember you, Vindictive FX).
Later today I will continues through my list of badges (starting with Reinforcement, then Goon Squad, then the time badges, and then - if absolutely necessary - Crystal Keeper).
It has to be one of them, my badge list was identical to a friend except for these five badges, yet he got the Megalomaniac and I did not.
Perhaps Reinforcement is the trigger - I am pretty sure it won't be Crystal Keeper due to a few people posting that they have it but didn't get the badge, and comparison with CoH.
Finally - when I picked up HPT this time I got the power, but then when I picked up Overlord to get Demonic I *didn't* get that power. I was wonderinf if you only get one of the powers, chosen at random, but then I met someone with both.

New badge in Mayhem missions - Fire Bane.
RUT RO.
I eliminated Goon Squad, Web Master, and Reinforcement from my list of possible Megalomaniac triggers.
I then asked someone who had Crystal Keeper to go and pick up Last Stand. They had far fewer badges than me, so I thought this would be a good way to test if Crystal Keeper was a requirement.
They picked out Last Stand and BAM!, they had Magalomaniac.
Oh dear. I am now almost certain that Crystal Keeper is (bizarrely) one of the prerequisites. I will run an Ice Mistral SF with the TFOs on Champion tonight, and report back whether getting this enabled me to pick up Magalomaniac.
In the meantime, if anyone without CK already has Megalomaniac then please let me know, because it will save me about 5 hours worth of being owned by Archus in the crystal caverns

Just so no one else runs of to do the Ice Mistral and it turns out to be redundant, here is a full list of badges I am missing that could possibly be the trigger for Megalomaniac - I am now including Gladiators in my search, since although it is unlikely that they are required I am running out of options:
GLADIATORS I LACK
Anathema
Avalanche Shaman
Behemoth Overlord
Bladegrass
Caliban
Fungoid
Hordeling Lasher
Lucent Legacy of Light
Longbow Warden 2
Mu Guardian
7th Generation Paragon Protector
Crey Power Tank
Shivan Destroyer
Outcast Slugger
Steel Strongman
Swift Steel
Wailer Queen
Smasher Elite
Snowbeast
ACCOLADES I LACK
Jet-Setter
Scrooge
Toy Collector
Bug Hunter
ACCOMPLISHMENTS I LACK
Crystal Keeper
ACHIEVEMENTS I LACK
Raider (this is really the only one of those original 6 that I posted about that I haven't eliminated, except for the CK - I will get this in the hours leading up to my going on the SF).
Finally - I noticed that the second person I compared with, the one who had few badges but still got Megalomaniac - had these two badges which I also lack:
Regenerator
Infiltrator
But the first person I compared with didn't have these either, even though he got the Meg badge. So I seriously doubt they are relevant.
Okay - time to hit SC for 5 hours

Dollymistress, to save you some trouble, I can confirm that Raider is not required for Megalomanic. Apis Queen doesn't have it. Crystal Keeper is probably the only missing badge, which is unfortuante since that last mission is kind of a pain.
Arc #41077 - The Men of State
Arc #48845 - Operation: Dirty Snowball
I eliminated Raider form the possibilities. Someone else who picked up Megalomaniac didn't have it. The only badges this person had that I don't were:
Finder
Privateer
Hodeling Lasher
Lucent Legacy of Light
Crystal Keeper (argh)
I already know that none of the first four are the trigger, since the first person I compared with had none of them.
So, without further ado, I conclude that Crystal Keeper is the prerequisite (noooo).
I am running Ice Mistral in around an hour's time. I will post the results later, once that SF is completed. At least I have 3 nukes waiting for the AV from eliminating the Rocketman possibility
Finally - I may be wrong but I think someone posted a while ago on the elite forums saying they had Crystal Keeper but still didn't get Meg. If that is true, then either there is another prerequisite (that I have), or *maybe* you are required to get all four SF badges to get Meg. I will check this also after I get Crystal Keeper, by forcing people who are on the SF with me to get on test and try to nab Last Stand.

SUCCESS!
I ran with a team to complete the Ice Mistral SF, got the Crystal Keeper, xferred to the Test Server, and grabbed Last Stand.
Megalomaniac was awarded instantly.
Crystal Keeper IS a prerequisite for Megalomaniac. The only other possibility is that you need all 4 SF badges to get Megalomaniac, but even if that is the case, Crystal Keeper is still part of the trigger.
YAY! I did some real research! Go me!
Okies, time for bed now. Hope the info helps everyone. I nuked Archus with the missles I picked up from Rocketman. He died
The Widow's Dark Hand - leader of Faux Pas

Ok, maybe not bed yet. Someone posted on the elite forums that they picked up Last Stand but didn't get Meg.
This person has lots more badges than me, but is missing the following badges that I do have:
Destined One
Strike Breaker
Kill Skuls
Jail Bird
Ember Legacy of Flame
So one of these is ALSO a prerequisite for Megalomaniac. This explains the people who had Crystal Keeper but didn't get the badge.
My guess would be that Strikebreaker is the other trigger. I doubt it would be a gladiator, or Destined One, or Jail Bird (yikes!).
It might be Kil Skuls. I will go PM the person and ask them to get Kil SKuls and Strikebreaker, one at a time. Time for someone else to do the researching now.
As a wild guess, maybe the badge requires you to have completed ALL Accomplishments prior to I7 - from Bone Collector right through to Crystal Keeper?
In any case, when I picked up Meg I got the power as well, but when I first logged in and got HPT I didn't get the HPT power. Weird. Someone needs to sort out these Accolade powers.

Confirmed Kil Skuls is not required. One of the earlier people I compared with doesn't have it.
This is looking like the triggers are a bunch of Accomplishments plus Last Stand.
Strike Breaker is looking definite. I will go back over my notes to make sure no one without it got the badge.

I've got a screengrab on my SG website:
http://www.the-faux-pas.org.uk/grab.jpg
It shows that I collected all three of the Accolades, and also my full badge list (minus Gladiators, since this wouldn't help - they all look the same).
As you can see I have all the Accomplishament, all Exploration (plus Last Stand and Overlord), and all History badges. The image is good enough to compare Achievements too, you can identify which I have from the picture.
You can see the 3 Accolades listed both on my badge list and badge collection.
Also note that this shot was taken at the moment I earned Overlord and Demonic (see chat window). I picked up the Demonic Aura at the same time.
Finally - on my power tray you will notice the blue power (just been used so it is minimised). This is Megalomaniac. With this particular copy of my main, I received both the Demonic and Megalomaniac powers, but NOT the HPT power.
I just hope that when I7 goes live I will get all 3 powers. I really don't want to miss Megalomaniac, since I'm a Mind/Psi Dom!

There are accolade powers that are permanent, like the Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member, which adds +5 END to your char. But there are also click powers, that have their own icon in the power tray and can be activated by clickcing it (e.g. Crey Cryo Rifle)
what about the 2 villain ones

There aren't that many informations about the villain accolades.
High Pain Treshold seems to be a permanent power.
Megalomaniac and Demonic seem to be click-powers.
Nice work Dolly! Thanks for the efforting. 
I'm sure this has been mentioned, but Handsome/Beautiful and Man/Woman in Black are showing up on test as "Hero.gender"

Megalomaniac is a clickable power which lasts for exactly 60 seconds.
It can be used only once every 25 minutes, and cannot be slotted. As the description on my screencap says, it enhances all mezzes while activated. It looks like pretty lights dancing around the head of your toon.
Demonic Aura is similar, (edit) and lasts 65 seconds (probably also supposed to be 60) and also recharges every 25 mins. The animation is a blue flame surrounding your character.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1) The fact that powers flash when they are about to exztinguish is really kewl!
2) BUG - For some insane reason, you can activate Demonic Aura while it is recharging. That is to say that you can activate tha *animation*, and reset the recharge time, but the power does not actually reactivate (you don't receive the bonuses).
I wonder if reporting this will give me Bug Hunter?

Out of curiosity, what is your main Villain's Archetype?
I believe that certain AT's will have a harder time achieving this badge than others for some obvious reasons.
[/ QUOTE ]
My villain main is an Energy/Thermal Corrupter. Squishy, moderately resisted attacks for middling damage, and no ability to self buff, though I can heal myself pretty nicely and my debuffs are excellent against strong enemies.
In response to Living_Viking, the Deathless badge is FAR, FAR more than 2 million debt paid off. If that was all it took, my hero main would have had a very long time ago.
