With Redford and 5 members of her party going to London it works out to about $2,800 per person for of the 5 days they are there. As a whole it`s $16,800 per day. I don`t need to understand what the costs might be to know that`s an obscene amount of dollars spent each day.

You should know that people in the business world eat at the best restaurants and stay at great hotels specifically because the faceless corporation is paying. They also invite other people to dine with them and choose awesome restaurants so that they can eat there and have the business pay. Of course there are other reasons (legitimate business), but don't think that this doesn't happen.
I'm not even getting into the comment about other services. Its a pure apples and oranges comparison for a lot of reasons.

My brother travels over 100 times a year on business and has a travel budget he must abide too. He doesn't fly first class nor does he stay in the best hotels but still manages to get the job done for the company he works for. Not everyone has an unlimited budget to work from like the govt does.
