I guess it all depends on your perspective. My friend hired Vin Armani from the Showtime reality series "Gigolos" when we went in February to Vegas, for a 2 hour session. Vin's fees are insane, mostly because he goes through an actual agency, Cowboys4Angels, and approx 40% of the fee goes to his "manager." For two hours she paid $1,000!! I felt bad for her because she was spending so much money, but it's who she wanted.
In contrast, I have hired Derek Atlas twice now totaling 14 hours, at $2,000. To get 14 hours with Vin would be $4,500 (and that includes the 'discounted' rate). So I'm not complaining at all.
