I think you’re talking about figures per life-year. Figures per life are order of 50 times higher.
You can look at the ‘value of a statistical life’ used by various government agencies. For example the US Department of Transportation recommends a VSL figure of $9.1 million. The UK Department of Transport uses the much lower figure of £1.6 million despite much smaller wealth differences. Even within one country, different agencies aren’t super-consistent on this; see e.g. the Wikipedia page on value of life.
