Depends, for some if they were to pay off someone for such a large amount, it could be more beneficial because of the overall impact.
Since the "E Jean Carroll" thing where as far as I am aware there was no actual evidence just hers and 2 of her friends word for it, a photo of him being at the party and taking "his words" possibly relating to it or something else from an interview Trump was found Guilty of raping her, or sorry was found to have "likely raped her", Trump's reputation has been impacted by it, so has his businesses, his friends and his families, but it's not been enough to stop people voting for him etc.
Like him or not, you should not be found guilty or likely guilty of a crime on the basis of someones "word", and frankly if it were switched so a bloke was accusing a women and they had the same "evidence" it would be thrown out.
As for Andrew, well his reputation again has been impacted significantly, his families reputation and the reputation of England has been damaged by the accusations made against him.
Paying someone millions by either one of them could be seen as a way to try to reduce the impact of those allegations.
This is where society and "Social Justice" is a big problem though because the accused is a man, they are automatically guilty and no matter what is proved they will always be looked at as guilty in the eyes of social media and the general public, they could have been in another country to where the "Assault" was supposed to take place but there will still be people who say they did it, and the person seen in another country was a "Body Double placed there so they could get away with the assault" etc etc.
Look at Johnny Depp Vs Amber Heard, he was accused and based of that accusation alone lost millions in lost roles, sponsors, lost friends, lost family members trust etc etc, for years he fought to prove she was lying and she was still given everything she wanted.
Now she has finally got her just deserts, she has been basically blacklisted in hollywood it would seem, it seems no companies want anything to do with her and she is one of the few females who make a false accusation especially in hollywood who get penalised for it, just not in terms of jail time etc.
Depp could have met her and paid her millions to stop her and she may have taken the money, but he decided to fight her and thankfully he did because he is seen by a fair few blokes as the inspiration to really start fighting back against false accusations.
So yes I can see people paying hundreds of thousands or even millions to shut someone up because in terms of damage control it maybe more beneficial to keep them quiet than fight it.
