I am not sure why anyone would pay even that much, when you can obtain a CBI passport from Dominica starting at $100k, which includes visa-free access to 144 countries worldwide.
Dominica Citizenship by Investment
The Dominica Citizenship by Investment Program application takes three months from submission of application to issuance of the passport. From USD 100,000.www.henleyglobal.com
The donation is only $100,000. There is also on top various government fees such as processing, due diligence, local agent fee etc. + Henley Professional fees (which are A LOT).
About visa-free numbers, you should check which countries you need to access rather than total number, as those numbers sometimes might not have the countries you need
