There's no set balance. If you are planning to fund their trip - you need to show enough money to fly them here, keep them here, feed them and take them around. You know what that looks like. If they want to travel the entire rail network on same day tickets, you'll need a small fortune, if they are going to stay in your house and not tour around - it's far less.
In terms of who needs to maintain funds - the answer is both. Money and financial situation is one of the indicators they use for a visitor's genuineness and if they claim to be funding a trip themselves without any cash - it rings alarm bells. It's less important if you are funding it.
