"Top laywers"? Yeah. That much and plenty more. Usually they're partners at places like V&E, Skadden Arps, etc. and they handle billion-dollar deals.
A decent-to-great lawyer shouldn't be more than $400/hr.
Buddy is a first year at a place in that league, New York/White Shoe. They are billing him at 550 as a first year.

There are plenty of firms out there made up of former big firm partners who bill at 1/2 that intentionally...there's a large market for skilled/trained former big firm lawyers at 1/2 the rate.
