My recollection is that, according to the Bhaagavatam, He had 16,108 wives and 10 sons by each wife. That would make 161,080 sons if correct. However, I also distinctly recall He allowed all of the Yadu dynasty to be destroyed by the Rishis' curse. I got the impression that there were no remaining male members of the dynasty - see bhAgavata purANa 11.31.22 (http://vedabase.net/sb/11/31/22/en).
