400 USD/hour is a great rate anywhere in the world, even the most expensive cities.

But abcd_f's comment is right about one-off 4-hour projects vs. long-term contracting. Non-billable time overhead spent on finding clients, negotiating contracts, mentally switching projects, or just sitting idle can negate the benefits of a high hourly rate.
