I think My. Moustache also has a rental property that pays some of his bills. I wouldnt say he "retired", more he has moved his career from whatever he did before to now managing his estates/blogging.
That being said I do believe it doesnt matter how much you make, it matters how much you spend to retire. IE if you lived on 20% of your salary every year you work would allow you to spend 4 years not working. Also if you take that 80% you did not spend and make it work for you, you can likely stretch it longer. Mr Moustache doesnt have any "toys" and keeps his spending to as close to 0 as possible.
