what are the deal fees on billion dollar deals?

If centerview partners is the exclusive financial advisor to Happy, inc. on its acquisition of Cheerful, Inc. where the deal size is $30 billion

Are the followiing assumptions correct:

30 billion x 1% (transaction fees) = 300 million

so CVP would collect 300 million in deal fees alone

excl. any financing fees/lawyers/accountants ... seems like a lot ????
