O'Reilly was here to speak at a Boy Scout fundraiser dinner. They sold 2000 tickets, $250 each. Lots of money made for the scouts, I'm sure well more than enough to cover his speaking engagement fees, whatever they are. And who knows... since it's a charity and it gave him a chance to blast the ACLU, maybe he gave 'em a discount.
Limbaugh's appearance fees are likely considerably higher, since he's been on the radio much longer... and they'd likely be flying him from Florida, as opposed to NYC. I don't listen to either show very often, but I've also never heard Rush do his show from anywhere except NYC or his Florida home.
