It also seems like Laser-Guided Karma given that both of them were doing illegal/immoral things, and so the universe conspired to give them both an unhappy ending.
A Gold Digger seeks to live in luxury by seducing a Meal Ticket to be her husband. She finds one in form of someone who is groomed to be a high paying CEO of a major corporation, and is currently married or is about to be married. So the Gold Digger thinks there is no problem getting the Meal Ticket to cheat on his current partner to be with her. She succeeds in seducing him, but the drama of the affair ends up costing him the future CEO job (because it turns out he embezzled money in order to charm her, or the CEO job was connected to being in good graces with his ex-partner's family).
Would this be a form of Meaningless Villain Victory? All for Nothing?
