Well there's some lower limit of course but humans have way fewer genes than a potato for instance. Mostly because the potato can't get up and move to a better spot so it needs genes for drought, cold, heat and so on. So more genes doesn't necessarily mean more complex.

Ok thank you very much. Which organism has the most most chromosomes per cell?

Adders tongue fern is the most of all the plants, but this protist has the most chromosomes currently known.
