That's not privilege.

She earned it.

A company's reputation when it comes to severance is a part of compensation negotiations and decisions whether to accept the offer to work there.

She got a high level job where such a severance is expected. If it weren't, they'd struggle to find anyone to fill that job.

The severance wasn't contingent on her past. Anyone else holding that job would've gotten a difference.

A male probably would've gotten a larger one, for that matter.
