If you don't use the -h option on ls you can also sort the output to get the highest usage files: find / -type f -size +100000k -exec ls -l {} \; | awk '{ print $5 ": " substr($0, index($0,$9))}' | sort -n

This splits filenames with spaces which is not ideal. You can modify it slightly though: find / -type f -size +100000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print substr($0, index($0,$9)) ": " $5 }'
