exorbitance
Wildly unreasonable amount
Exorbitance is the quality of being wildly excessive or unreasonable, especially in price or demands.
The word carries a sense of going far beyond acceptable limits: the exorbitance of executive compensation, the sheer exorbitance of their requests.
It implies not just excess but excess that offends or shocks.
