Actually nobody knows if he is really holding more than 500k bitcoins, but there are a lot of conspiracies saying that he does, but it is a little bit weird and there is no way to check it to see if it is real or only a conspiracy.
And no, there is no way to know who has the most amount of bitcoin, so this thread is useless, there is no way to check it and see who is the most millionaire in here, lol.
Just imagine, a lot of people would try to hack that poor guy's wallet..

This is demonstrably wrong. There is absolutely a way to see what the largest Bitcoin addresses are. The blockchain is a public ledger and all balances are public knowledge. You can search the blockchain for the addresses with the largest balances. As a point of distinction, it's much harder to know which wallets are the largest (a wallet being a collection of individual addresses) because it's not always possible to associated related addresses or link ownership to a common source. But you could easily come up with the addresses that are confirmed millionaires.

Yes it's easy to which address has the most amount of bitcoin, but one person can own several address and there is no way to tell if the person owning one address also owns the other address. One can easily cover that up and thus just looking for a address with most bitcoin is not a very effective way to look for the wealthiest man in Bitcoin.
