appearance fees
Celebrity event compensation
Appearance fees are payments made to celebrities, athletes, or public figures simply for showing up at an event.
The host pays for the draw of the person's presence rather than any performance or service: The former president commands six-figure appearance fees for corporate events.
Distinguished from speaking fees, though the terms often overlap when the appearance includes brief remarks.
