I don't know anything about this particular instance, but it is generally believed that speaking fees are that high because they are a form of legal bribery.

Bill Clinton also had his share of critics because of that.

Generally believed by whom? People on the internet?

Is there real evidence of paid speeches being bribery? As others have said about 100k-500k is the going rate for corporate speeches from athletes, actors, etc.
