How much do you have to stake to become a validator?

The minimum stake to become a validator depends in how much is staked on the system at the moment. Near uses Thresholded Proof of Stake, so you can say the minimum stake to become a validator is roughly the sum of the current stake divided by the number of seats (which is currently 100 for betanet/stakewars).
In particular to see the current seat price for the current epoch you can use near-shell:
$> near validators current | grep "seat price"
To see the estimate price for the next epoch you can use as suggested per previous answer:
$> near validators next | grep "seat price"
near validators next | grep "seat price"
