Also, if you haven't made enough money, maybe you could try and persuade some film producers to make some films of your books! Is this likely?

I'd rather not answer that question directly on the net, but if you're really that interested, then I would tell you a rough figure by email. The exact figure is a bit nebulous due to the nature of self publishing and the expenses you can claim back from the tax man through being self employed.
As with anything else, when is what you've made ever enough? I will need to make a lot more money to become financially independent of my writing, if that's what you mean. When I reach he point at which I don't need to write any more in order to live from the proceeds, then fine, but until then I will continue to work hard. How many authors ever achieve this? Very very few, I'm sure.
Would I like to have a film made of my books - yes, I would. Am I going to try? Yes, I am. My agent is due to talk again with various companies in the summer time. You can be sure I'll post something on the matter if it ever progresses.
