The really good authors tend to raise their prices because they know they are worth it. Yes, it may cost that much for the article, but they are usually good enough that the article will make its money back 3 times over.
Also, people who just want cheap content aren't her target customers. She probably has so much work at those prices she probably still doesn't take on every job. The good ones know what their time is worth, and charge accordingly.
Still, not sure where you get 500/article. she does 30/hour which usually works out to 1-2 articles
