I am assuming you are referring to the million bitcoins attributed to Satoshi.
First of all, James is not Satoshi. I guess you'll just have to take my word for that.
Second, those bitcoins are tentatively worth $60 billion. That's a lot, but I can name 10 people with more money, and a quick google turns up another 10.
I say tentatively, if someone started selling them then price of bitcoin would drop, probably to about $30k.
Which would place their owner/controller at no 51 on the world's richest list.
