The term "whale" started on Wall Street in the old days. A guy who had tons of money and was willing to invest. They're not all fat, just rich. Well, maybe at strip clubs they're fat.
Guys who like to call big spenders fat, are the same who call SC goers old. They're insecure. Typically successful folk work long hours and/or stressful, something that requires a degree of health to sustain.
@Mr Orange I thought that the slang term "Whale" originated in the casinos of Las Vegas
Here's the definition reprinted from The New Urban Dictionary
"The term "Whale" is borrowed from the casino industry, where it is used to describe a rich gambler who bets extraordinarily large amounts of money. Just like in the game industry, casinos want to "catch" the most high-betting whales, because they provide a lot of income for comparably little expense."
