I think OP means that weren't wealthy enough to make a large public donation through the appropriate channels and instead resorted to bribery.

Their legal bills could easily surpass the amount of money exchanged to get their kids into these schools.

The numbers $15,000 and $50,000 were mentioned in the article.

That's the kind of money poor people who think they're rich donate to schools.

Are you saying that's a high number or a low number? Because if you're saying it's high, you picked the wrong examples, here's a different example from the article:

Low. Certainly not enough to be in the "donate a building" range. In fact, I doubt $1.2million is in that range.
