Are you asking for links to places where other celebrities get paid six figures for an appearance? There are other posts in this thread with links to venues where you can find any number of celebrities with posted prices in the six figures. Edit: here's a link, since it only takes 10 seconds to find: https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/discover-your-speaker.php https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/discover-your-speaker.ph... Notable: Ava DuVernay (film director) starts at $200k. Tim Ferriss says $100k-$200k. Viola Davis: $200k and up. I'm certain that none of these people are obligated to these prices; if Citadel is buying, anyone would be silly to not raise the price. Conversely, all are certainly able to make speeches at discounted rates or gratis to schools, nonprofits, etc. Also notable (because it refutes your priors) is a lack of public officials, or those who have held public office. Edit (again): Here are private economists who make bank for speeches: https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/searchresults/economist#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=economist&gsc.sort= https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/searchresults/economist#... Sort by price and you'll see that people do hire economists to speak for six figures, even if they have no nexus to government. Yellen is higher-profile than most of these, and again anyone would be foolhardy to not double their rate for Citadel.
