It depends, of course, on how far the sea level rises, but let's say that most coastal cities in developed countries would be severely affected (New York; Portsmouth, UK; London; Hamburg and hundreds of others), so that's hundreds of millions for a start. Then there's all those small island nations such as the Maldives that would totally disappear with only a few metres rise.
