In sales terms, a whale is a
prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.
Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a
whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and
business development teams.
Example:
"Shit...the
sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my
pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."

To 'whale' in a game or 'whaling' is a term for gamers or gambling addicts who spend a good huge amount of money on video games or casinos. Since a whale is huge and they pay hugely for gambling or gaming, you can see why
this is a thing.
With gamers, microtransactions existed for them within free-to play games (e.g.
loot boxes, in-game currency, booster packs, cosmetics, etc.), gacha-like games, mobile games, battle-royale games or anything along those lines.
Gamblers are people who whale tons of cash on
slot machines, poker and other natures of casino games and gambling.
"Whales" was a phrase first used by video game publishers to describe their main customers who insufferably liked to gamble their money for in-game items.
Example:
Bob: "Hey, Dylan. Guess what happened: I convinced my mum to buy me V-bucks and I spent a heck load on
Fartnite last night. So cool, dude."
Dylan: "That game is for toddlers. I see why you needed her to buy it for you. Because toddlers rely on their
mummies, and you like to whale money within a crappy game, to buy things you don't need. Player Ultimate Battlegrounds is way better than your game."
Sarah: "Guys, guys, guys... come on. It's not that bad. I spend my free time
whaling my student funds on Weeb/Grand Order to get the best units with Gacha hatchers and to be a better player, haha... I think I'm the worst than both of you combined."

a certain type of
socialite who is renowned in bars and nightclubs for spending ridiculous amounts of money in one visit, often dropping tens of thousands of dollars in one night.
"Known in the industry (as they are in Vegas casinos) as "whales," this elite class of
partyers pays from $20,000 to $100,000 a night to satisfy their every whim. That might mean
bodyguards, protection from unwanted media attention or a steady stream of beautiful people ushered to their table." - LA Times
Example:
Mr. X would taunt the other whales at different tables, and they would go back and forth out-buying each other on who could spend the most on champagne. In the nightclub industry we call them champagne wars. Mr. X would order so many bottles that him and his guests would legitimately spray $
1100 bottles of Aces of
Spades and Dom.
