Without knowing contractural details, one cannot assume all celebrities ask for an advance, nor can one assume the advance would fall under the heading of big bucks. And contrary to what has been implied, many many writers of children's books who are not celebrities receive advances of $100,000 and more.
But many many many don't. Unless there is an auction, with several publishers bidding, first offers are apt to be lower than this.
