If I'm being honest, we all know the "rich guy sponsors girlfriend's vanity company" thing. Everyone usually knows what it's about. We can all sit here in schadenfreude but it's just the really rich version of the tchotchke and artisanal honey shop in Kalispell. So yeah, it's going to say grand things like "being a transformational mechanism for deep-lasting change" and "rejecting short-termism for true long-lasting success" and stuff like that. I bet if you go check out their website it'll be that stuff. Some people will performatively pretend this company is not like that, but it is almost certainly that.
The honey in that shop in Kalispell is not going to be that great, but at some point the proprietor will be on a TedX talk about how she's donating $1 of every purchase to fund hand-plucked honey fruit from honey trees in Africa and how this has been a truly transformational women-owned business or so on that is a vehicle for lasting change.
This is the same as that except at the big level.
It's okay that it exists since getting rich people to spend their money is a reasonable way to move money from stored wealth into the economy.
