They do though. I linked to a speaker's bureau above and Bradley Cooper(!?!) gets $200k/speech.

That's an A-list celebrity, they're supposed to be the highest paid speakers. A top executive or professional typically makes 10% what A-list celebrity makes for speeches.

Given this, Yellen should be getting $20,000 per speech, which would align way more realistically with expectations.
