the books make it worth a little bit more of course.

I assume that you are eligible to cash in your own tourney.
If not and the prize-pool is only being divided by 7 players instead of 8 then that changes things too of course.

I just checked the the Hachem/Moneymaker/Raymer/Negreneau single-table tourneys which is 15k FPP's for 10 players for a $2k prize-pool + $250 bounty on the celebrity.
So even if you assume that the bounty will be collected in every tourney which obviously isn't correct the player gets $225 value for his 15k FPP's which is exactly 1.5 cents.

So it appears your tourney isn't that far off.
I guess I just assumed these single-table tourneys would have BETTER value but I guess the fun in playing with the big-name player has value in and of itself which is hard to disagree with.
