I'm not sure I understand what you are asking here. I'm sure Rackspace has many clients who run up charges well over $100,000 every month. RackSpace handles some very large clients. Recall that YouTube started out on RackSpace, and was on RackSpace at least till the end of 2006 (I forget the exact date YouTube left RackSpace). RackSpace actually invented a special low rate (regarding bandwidth), just for YouTube, but, instead of paying monthly, YouTube had to pay daily, in exchange for that ultra low rate.
I'd guess that RackSpace clients probably follow something of a power curve, with the top 1% of their clients using something like 30% or 40% or 50% of all the bandwidth that RackSpace sells. And of course, that top 1% would have very large monthly bills.
