Some interesting information about Second Life (as of late 2006) using their weekly statistics.

Raph's Website - Second Life posts weekly uniques

If you assume that every committed player (C) logs in once a week, and that every browser (B) only stays for a week, then you get the following equations:

351000 = C + (60/7) B
113000 = C + B

Solving both of these equations, you get (approx): C = 83,000, B = 30,000. IE: 83,000 committed SL players, with 30,000 browsers per WEEK.

...

Which means that somewhere between 80K and 119K people are active participants in SL. 1/4 to 1/6th of them are land owners (aka: directly paying customers).

So, anywhere from 13000 to 30000 actual paying customers live in Second Life.
