I've been playing for a bit over a year and I have 43k diamonds on iOS now (and I've been playing less than half a year on Android, and I have 3.5k there, without really even breeding any fodder.) However, I'm missing about half of the t4s, all Constellations IIIs and Is, and 15 Exclusives on iOS. I don't have any buy-only or old tack, so there are over 100 tack sets I don't have.

Most of the players who post screenshots in FB groups have constantly over 5k diamonds, most being around the range of 5-10k. Only exceptions are the ones who have been playing for a month or two, but the general rule is that diamonds are counted in thousands, not in hundreds, and even the new players are told immediately the best ways to earn more diamonds for GS upgrades.

Another point to add is that for example on Android, many players are buying the current winner's pack because it comes with the Miracle Christmas tack, which has been a buy-only up until now (you could only get it by buying the Miracle Christmas pack for real money during the events in which it has been up for sale). Lots of people bought the Miracle pack last year for real money purely for the tack, when they already had the horse from puzzle piece races. In the future, they don't need to do that, because they can get the tack from Dressage.
