Is this season one of House? There isn't really a trope for this exact situation (Too Rare To Trope), but according to Volger's character sheet it seems to encapsulate Screw the Rules, I Have Money! and a subversion of Wealthy Philanthropist.

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

Money Is Not Power mentions a donation scenario.

True, especially in the House case where Volger ultimately lost on the power play attempt.

The damned queen and the relentless knight.

I'm troping one episode of House, where a few tropes caught my attention (the main patient's dead baby, 2 decades ago, being Death of a Child and Outliving One's Offspring, and the child born in this episode being a Posthumous Sibling); a background case of Abuse Mistake; and at the beginning the police suspecting that there's a Drunk Driver.
