Looking at the top 1000 I'm surprised there's no power law. It's just a lot of people with generally similar number of words.

Feels quite power-law like to me, but checking this roughly it seems to decay more quickly than a power law, but with a fatter tail. At least in the top 1000

The top 3 with 4,000,000 words have about 20 times as many words that the 0.14% percentile (at rank 1000) with 200,000 words.

In between (at rank 500) your at about 450,000 words, so its not a true power law. Because a drop of a factor 9 per 500 ranks would suggest that rank 1000 were at about 50000 words.
