I'm identifying this as whinging without an actual complaint. Some people are lucky, and putting his girlfriend in charge of something is unimpressive but also unobjectionable in the main.
I don't see it. Run me through how this is a conflict of interests; ie who is it in conflict with.
Forbes is suggesting he fronted all the money and put his girlfriend in charge. While I wouldn't call that the highest-success strategy, it doesn't seem like a conflict. Presumably she is competent enough and I don't see anyone involved complaining. Did I miss something in the article?
It isn't a conflict of interest to appoint someone close to you to be CEO. It might be nepotism (read: is), but if someone fronted $100 million to some group then they get to engage in a little nepotism if they think it is a good idea. It is like a small businessman installing his son as 2IC; it isn't a cerebral choice but it is unproblematic.
LOL, because it's totally not gross or a conflict of interest in any way. Keep licking those billionaire boots, I bet they taste like caviar.
