There is not. There might be a black market for this, but not with anything close to this made-up rate.
I'm not saying you can't make money from in-game assets, but you would make a completely different amount of money. Those assets have never been bought or sold at $22,300, so why do we pretend that's their value?
Because different assets can be bought using both dollars and ISK (and cannot be sold for dollars at all!), we decide that's a conversion rate? And apply it to everything else?
