True, but I wonder when the first bitcoin millionaire (or billionaire) will be included on there? Maybe Satoshi will one day wind up on the list, but I guess without confirmation that he could be several people it'll automatically invalidate him from the list.
If there was a list I would think it would be better to have it in terms of BTC rather than fiat as the value of BTC to fiat fluctuates so significantly. Some of the coins we attribute to Satoshi have to be him from the sheer fact there was no one else mining - but there are some early blocks that could very easily be disputed. I don't see why we couldnt include Satoshi as long as the possibility of it being more than a single person is acknowledged.
True, but it's also possible that he lost access to those coins or is possibly even deceased so it'll be hard to even put an exact figure/value on his ownings.

It will be quite a long time before Forbes will release a rich list and even then it won't include many large stashes that have not been identified. Unlike fiat where asset value can be estimated and it isn't too difficult to work out who owns what - with Bitcoin many of them don't have any name attached and I'd doubt anyone would come forward to prove they actually own the coins.

Most of that list was never correct in the first place as there was never really any sources, and when there was they were second-hand or speculative at best.
