I can tell you what the cost is.

Bourgeois influence.

Where? In the country where they took Jack Ma's company away from him? In the country where a CPC representative has to sit on the board of directors of every company? In the country where the punishment for embezzling millions is death?

The existence of wealthy people does not mean those wealthy people have control. They have easy lives, riches, opportunities, sure, but they don't have to have influence in how the country is run.

No, the joke is that they are getting rid of bourgeois influence in exchange for this stuff.
