Is the current market rate for a speech $290k? And what are exactly the goods object of the transaction?

For top professionals, that is exactly the ballpark.

The goods object of the transaction is "continuing education perk for 500 highly-paid professionals." If I put 500 staff in a room and want to treat them, this is a nice perk that's not something they can buy on their own (even though many are millionaires).
