No.

In most marriages with significantly different earning levels, the lower earner (usually, though not always, the woman) takes on other duties to support the higher earner and other members of the family. This is a necessary contribution to the household, but isn't one that comes with financial compensation. Once the household breaks up, those duties - and the attendant sacrifice of earning potential - need to be addressed alongside any monetary contributions.

There's also the fact that one member of a couple might have financially supported the other before their earning levels were reversed - for example, my mom supported my dad through his masters, which enabled him not to have to take out huge loans to cover the expenses his stipend wouldn't have. He makes more than her now. If they were to divorce, the fact that she supported the education necessary for him to achieve his current position and gave up opportunities for promotions that would've advanced her own career because they would've required relocating would have to be addressed in the division of assets.
