I asked for examples.

The only reason outrage seems justified is that the demographics of those that can charge $300k a speech appears overwhelmingly dominated by government officials.

I'm open to being shown otherwise with explicit links.

There are links in peer comments. But you are correct that the people that can command high dollars for speaking engagements are widely known. Reaching a high post in government fits the bill, as does being a top actor, entertainer, athlete, etc.
