Sony Making Over $50 Million a Month from PlayStation Plus?

The title is technically incorrect. Sony is not making 54 million.

Revenue does not equal Profit.

Profit is a combination of
+ 54.5 million
- Royalty/license fees for the games on the service
- Networking costs (third party fees)
- Retail fees for PSN cards
- Operation Costs (Staffing, building, hardware, electricity, etc)
- Refunds/free extensions

Please change the title.

That's right and another thing  it's not their only source of revenue , the store itself makes quite a lot of money , enough for it to be able to prop up the network for years, but not enough to sustain the type of future expenditure needed to enhance the network and be able to underwrite other network projects till they find their financial footing.
