I think that Rudy went looking for a payday, both from the Trump organization as well as from the publicity that went along with it. Rudy's spending habits are a matter of public record. According to his last divorce it was about 230,000 a month. You would need to charge quite a bit and do a lot of legal work to keep up that kind of lifestyle.

"We learned that the couple maintain six homes and typically spent $230,000 per MONTH to fund their lifestyle. They have 11 country club memberships and Rudy sometimes spends $12,000 PER MONTH on cigars."
"Divorce filings showed that Rudy earned $7.9 million in 2016, $9.5 million in 2017 and $6.8 million in 2018. The vast majority of his earnings have come from speaking fees."
