What's the problem here? This person has an apparently excellent track record of raising money. This isn't grift! There would be a problem if donors got excessive benefits from their donations, and there appears to be a problem that the money is largely being spent on useless staffing, but at least the latter is not the vice chancellor of development's fault. The VC of development pulls their own weight.

The problem is not that the VPs don't make money (clearly they do, that's their point), it's that they are taking money and using it to make more money and the actual purpose of being an institution for research and education is lost.

Having this type of person on the team isn't bad but if they're calling all the shots then the whole mission of the (non profit) university is destroyed.
