There was a term I really liked for this kind of things: “Vacationing in poverty” I think, where people with wealth ‘adventure’ being homeless or something but don’t even remotely appreciate that the people they’re pretending to be don’t have an ‘off’ switch or an easy out of their situations.
Kinda like that undercover boss show where they tried to show how great these CEOs are by throwing some money at specific employees that are struggling, ignoring that better leadership and compensation that lines up better with the value being created would improve things for all of the other struggling employees that weren’t lucky enough to be assigned to boss babysitting duty (assuming the whole thing wasn’t staged entirely).

I find the whole premise despicable.
