Someone who passes vetting, is eligible for the existing EB-1 or EB-2 classification through which the card is delivered, is admissible, and can make the required non-refundable payment and gift. Ability to pay does not substitute for any of the other three.
Four separate gates, and money opens only one of them
It helps to separate the requirements rather than treating them as a single price. Vetting is a screening process the applicant must pass before the gift stage is reached, and it looks at the person rather than the payment. Classification eligibility is the requirement people most often overlook: because the route runs through EB-1 or EB-2, the applicant has to fit one of those, and their criteria have nothing to do with the gift.
Admissibility is a further independent question, covering the grounds on which any person may be refused entry regardless of category, and it is worth reviewing with counsel before a non-refundable fee is paid. Visa availability is the fourth gate and the one nobody controls, since it depends on the monthly bulletin. Anselm's ownership of a successful Ontario company is relevant to none of these automatically; whether it helps depends entirely on which classification is in play.
