I don't think clout means what you think it means.
But for trickle down economics, who do you think got the $70,000 that they paid to make that cake? The bakery did, which used it to pay it's workers, who used their paychecks to buy their day to day supplies. The very definition of trickle down economics. The sword had to be made as well, unless it's a family heirloom, so a craftsman somewhere was paid to create it, more trickle down. Very few big businesses deal in swordcraft these days.
The worst part of this would be the diamonds themselves, as that industry is rife with issues.
I'm guessing it's a reply to my comment since I mentioned trickle down economics. Trickle down will never work because of people like Gucci himself. He could've paid his workers better, made better work conditions. Instead, he has his stuff made in sweatshops (allegedly) and buys a huge fucking cake and a diamond sword. Similarly, the bakery you mentioned, how much of that outrageously high sum do you think is going to the workers compared to how much is going to the CEO? I'd wager that the workers aren't getting that much. I see it on my own asshole boss as well, our office printers don't work but instead of having them fixed he travels to a different place every week then brags about it on social media.
As long as people are greedy bastards, trickle down will never work because these greedy bastards will use the money on ridiculously expensive shit (the price of which will again go to greedy bastards not employees) instead of treating their employees like human beings.

Some drills are diamond tipped but they aren’t nessesarily 100% diamond
