>>My first reaction was to object, and say that not everyone can  spare 
the cash with which to go beyond what is absolutely required. $500 is  
a lot of money!

But then I realized that the chasan of the story DID  have that money 
available, and he WAS prepared to part with it, specifically  to give 
to that singer. <<

Also, his kallah (or her father) has even /more/ money than the chosson,  
because -- don't forget -- she hired the /real/  Chaim ben Zundel, who must  
command more for a performance than Davidi, the guy who only impersonates Chaim  
ben Zundel!  So even if $500 seemed like a lot of money to the chosson  before 
he got married, he can afford to be more generous now that he  has married 
into an affluent family.  :- )
