Why is the devil's number considered to be 666?
666 is a reference to the treasury of Solomon (2 Chronicles 9.13, cf 1 Kings 10.14, cf Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, 8.179):
This is the single largest personal fortune recorded in the Old Testament, and represents Solomon's annual intake of treasure. It is an enormous quantity of gold.

In the Revelation of John, these two references together represent the idolatry of money, people who worship money and power rather than Israel's God. "You cannot serve both God and Money,"(Matt 6.24).
