For $100 I would most happily have travelled to Melbourne, given a more than satisfactory account of poverty and the poor state of the world, and donated the other $99,900 to a number of deserving groups actively working to free the world from this particular scurge.

$100,000 for a lecture on poverty? And they say that talk is cheap .....
