No, they're not, at least most of them, and not on a long term basis.  Just look at the math:
At  $4K/m, ~$50K/yr AFTER tax.  At those tax rates, that's about $90K/yr  taxable and EXPENDABLE income. That's after he has spent on his home  life (or alimony).  That probably means $300-400K/yr.  Not many guys in THAT pool.  At 10K/m its probably $400-500K/yr minimum.  At $17K/m its  probably $600+K/yr.  Even fewer guys in THOSE pools. Of course there are those that inherited money, but  again very few at those rates. Retirees, possibly, but that's a pretty  big retirement fund with current interest rates.  
Are there a  few?  Sure.  And the numbers get exponentially smaller as you go up.   The few that you hear about are the vocal tiny minority, and probably  quite a few myths in there, too.
I've had 5 over the years that I  got to know well enough to trust what they told me (yes, I know!).  Of  those 4 out of 5 would have been SD-exclusive (meaning they may have a  RW bf/SO) for a lot less, probably $1000-1500/m.  ALL the SBs I saw had  RW jobs, and just wanted a bit of fun (and funds) on the side.  And I  believe that's the norm for most SBs.
Sure, they/we all WANT that kind of big, exclusive arrangement, but I think you'd find that's an incredibly tiny percentage, even of those that could get an exclusive arrangement.
