The fact of the matter is, a less name-brand mountain like, say, Ama Dablam will cost WAY less to climb in terms of guide fees, despite the fact that it is more difficult than (and nearly as high as) Everest.
The consequences of failure on nearly every mountain is death.
Just like in, say, auto racing. But you don't see Bill gates buying his way into LeMans, do you?
