$20K or more per speech is typical for top pro speakers and bestselling authors. Ex-presidents get 10x that. Bill Cosby gets $300K+ per speech last time I checked.
It's been said that pro speaking is the highest paid profession (based on hourly rate).
If my book hits the New York Times bestseller list, it's likely I'll earn significantly more from speaking fees than I do from book royalties. Vegas is a great place to live for pro speaking because there are 2,600 conventions here each year.
