what are the big earners in bitcoin right now?

1) the exchanges.
Cavat = regulation in most countries

By my estimates Mt. Gox is paying the bills and the rest have not made a dime unless there is a lot of dark-pool activity, but as best I can tell there is not.

Bitcoinica is probably doing OK as a low-overhead show.  (Due to low headcount and shunting the cost of the financial hassles to the exchanges.)
 
2) silkroad, and i'd guess weed would be most popular

What else is there? What is the next level down and how much are they earning?

Ummm...the scammers and thiefs?

The large pools make a lot, but when the price falls sharply their margins become very thin. The smaller pools are pushed into the red and miners, who are then making a lot less, try to maximize their profits but migrating to no fee pools.
