=SUMIF(List,""&LARGE(List,LgList),List)+(LgList-COUNTIF(List,""&LARGE(List,LgList)))*LARGE(List,L gList)

where List is the range of cells that you are evauluating
and LgList is the top X number that you want to sum.

How do I add the top 10 numbers out of 100 numbers that are not in a row or

might be in cell a2, second in cell ba15, and so on.

How would I write the formula to sum the top something numbers?
