Did you mean 10th dan? I personally know over four ninth dans, and ninth dan isn’t the highest dan in Taekwondo according to the Kukkiwon promotion regulations, Article 8 and 11, there is a Kukkiwon 10th Dan (and GM Kyo Yoon Lee claims to be one – http://www.gmwons.com/us-han-moo-kwan/).
Or did you mean only four people have been awarded such high honorary dan (as I assume it’s honorary dan)?
