It's hard to say.

Google Ventures actually invests through various funds organized as limited partnerships. These are separate entities and Google, Inc. would only receive a return from this investment to the extent that it was a partner in the fund that invested in Uber or if it had a side agreement with that fund to give it a share of the return.

You can tell from various GV SEC filings that Google, Inc. may have the right to vote shares held by the GV funds, but the filings don't disclose Google's share of the proceeds of a sale of the shares.
