The final Akbar Gbaja-Biamila booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Akbar Gbaja-Biamila charge for an event. An example fee to book Akbar Gbaja-Biamila is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
