Simple question, what dollar amount makes a whale in your opinion? I'm going with weekly amounts rather than lifetime because a regular customer is more valued than a one and done. Sure Someone spending $2500 in a month is great, but a customer spending $50 a week for a year is better. Be realistic please. What Amount (on average) makes a whale?

I would say to be in the top 1% of spenders you would probably would spend over $1000 for an entire year....so more like $20 a week.
Remember also this board is skewed towards heavy users of this game, myself included. There are literally tens of thousands of casuals who may play the game once a day, even less, who never spend a dime, much less visit the forums
The OP is asking for Whale type spending. $250 for the year in not. I dropped over that on a Saturday when I bought a bunch of Chromium to try to level Maul to 6*(failed) and was getting players to purple. I don't consider myself a whale.
I'd say $3k+ would be whale personally.
In this game you need to spend 2k minimum for a good rooster. If you want to use the chars later on you going to spend another 2-6k and more. After that i think you can run this without money between the updates.
Your poll makes no sense without a number of weeks/month/years
50$ a week over 2 month no whale.
50$ a week over 1 year a small whale.
And 2500$ in one time and 50$ a week over a year is nearly the same...
1 year = about 52 weeks

We need whole new categories I guess. Kraken? Loch Ness Monsters?
I think you underestimate how over priced things are and how little benefit you get out of a one time $500 "investment"
Hehe I'm a 'non-player' but ranked 11th on my server.
Go figure!
ETA: And good luck in GW.

$300 a week buys you enough crystals to buy 12-14 chromium 8 packs and still have enough crystals to handle refreshes for the week which should allow you to start 7*'ing chromium only toons within 3-4 weeks.
$800-$1000 frontload gives you up to 62 chromium 8 packs to start which will likely net you some 7* chromium only characters. The $100 a week can then be used to buy 2 chromium 8 packs and still satisfy most, if not all of your refresh needs.
I believe that should get you squarely into whale territory for SWGoH, and less than that, give or take, is likely going to just be P2P.

From this article: recode.net/2014/02/26/a-long-tail-of-whales-half-of-mobile-games-money-comes-from-0-15-percent-of-players/
1.5% of players in that game spent money. 10% of that 1.5% (i.e., the 0.15% in the title) spent 50%.
That's impressive, that 0.15% may definitely be the whales. However, the other 1.35% still spent the other half of the money, and probably were the ones who provided the impetus for the whales to spend more. And some % of the other 98.5% provided the impetus for the 1.35% to spend more than nothing.
Pretty much the same. I bought all the offered packs, a few Dozen Chromiums, poor luck,lol. Then mainly crystals for refuills. I did a 8, 8x chronmium about 2 weeks ago hoping for some luck, not much better so I stopped. I buy a lot of crystals as I farm several toons and I gear a lot. I do not consider myself a whale either. Between my arena winnings and the crystal spend plan I created I've decreased my crystal purchases a lot.
For this reason I foresee a revamp of the chromium system. Once whales blow they're load 7*ing everything there's no further reason to purchase them. Anyone not capable/willing of spending $1-2k has, mostly, learned to avoid them. So the market (players) for them is limited as is the window/reason to purchase them.
