I think that the number of paying customers will be in the 2-5% range. Sublime Text is fully featured for "free", it's a trendy editor, and has a large international following. Plus this is the raw number: I know that I have a license, and I have it installed on a number of computers and VMs. I assume that I'm not alone in taking advantage of this. So sure, if he has sold 50k licenses then that's $3.5m, and for that sum you expect active development (its like 580k/year), I doubt that he's pulling in millions a year..
