As you can see, the short answer is ‘many of them’, but the questioner is probably looking for the answer “white dwarves” (and possibly “the variables”.) All other categories have such a large range of temperatures that they don’t exclusively have #T >= 4000#K and since you specifically asked for stars who are all above that temperature the answer is more limited.
