So yeah, she got 30m tax reduction and spent 150m. net "loss": 120m.

and you consider it bad because she could have chosen paying those 30m taxes and keeping the rest (instead of donating it) ?

I don't think there was any value judgment in my comments at all.

The net "loss" to her was $37.5MM for shares she couldn't even use in good conscience in the first place (think team morale, public optics, etc.)

She was an active Google board member when they bought her company. That doesn't exactly look good to the public or to the team.
