There are 4! or 24 such numbers. So there are 24 digits in each column.
There are the same number of 1's in each column as there are 2's, 3's 
and 4's. so there are 24÷4 or 6 of each digit in each column.  So each
column sums to 6*1+6*2+6*3+6*4 = 6(1+2+3+4) = 6(10) = 60, so the sum is

the sum of the thousands column, which is 60, times 1000 plus 
the sum of the hundreds column, which is 60, times 100 plus 
the sum of the tens column, which is 60, times 10 plus
the sum of the units column, which is 60. 

1000(60) + 100(60) + 10(60) + 60 = 60(1000+100+10+1) = 60(1111)= 66660 

And since there are only 24 of them, you can check just by adding;
