No, there are 32 standard degrees in Scottish Rite, and a 33rd degree which is honorary. Every freemason can get the 32nd degree in as little as a few hours if you're just after the title and not the masonic education.
York Rite has a total of like 12 degrees to its pinnacle, plus an honorary degree (KYCH) (3 blue lodge, 4 royal arch, 2 cryptic/council, 3 knight templar).
There are countless honorary invite-only bodies associated with one/both/neither of these (Allied Masonic Degrees, Crown & Cork, York Rite College, Simon of Cyrene, Red Cross of Constatine, bunch of Rosicrucian, etc).
There are other masonic rites that are not mainstream that have alot more degrees. For example the Rite of Memphis-Misraim which has 90 degrees.
