As founder of Khan Academy, one of the programmers must have assigned Sal Khan's total number of points to be large, presumably as an honorary designation. In the area where his number of points is displayed, the symbol infinity is written.

However, some of the more computer savvy users discovered that he has an actual number of points associated with his account, and since this has to be an actual finite number, that is where the 120,000,000 figure is coming from.

In fact, if you hover over the infinity symbol on his actual KA page, I believe you can actually see the number of background points he currently has, although the infinity symbol is what shows without hovering.

I hope this helps to clarify!
