It's not just "leftist", it's impostor syndrome. If she had spent days and nights, weekends and had 3 abortions and 2 divorces to come up with a product idea so innovative it liberated people from a common chore forever (like say she invented a way to never have to sleep anymore while having the benefit of rest still here), she maybe wouldn't say it like that.

She'd be "fucking hell finally I get something out of this endless suffering". Here she joined a company, waited a bit, and became a millionaire. We may all feel a bit disappointed at winning life with so little excitement :D

In the leftist mind, nobody deserves any money. Even if she had suffered or worked as hard as you describe, she would still be a product of her privilege, being born at the right time in the right place and so on.

I can imagine this feeling of not deserving the money, but that doesn't mean you should be hellbent on giving it away.
