Lead (Pb) is a diamagnetic material. It means that it will behave magnetically just like wood or water. So it doesn't matter how strong a magnet is, it will never attract lead.
What's more, it will even push it away, but with so little force that it is barely observable.

The required magnet strength is also affected by the weight of the lead block. For example, about 10-20 Teslas will be enough to levitate a small piece of lead. But even this requires a huge magnet, considering your average fridge magnet is about 5 mTesla (0.005 Tesla) strong. Neodymium magnets can reach 1 Tesla.
