depends, how many thoumillion do they have

Doesn’t really matter.

With a good accountant, they can claim a lot, if not all of it, back on tax, or perhaps have it offset against income from various sources.

With a good investment broker, they’ll make some, if not a lot of it, back fairly quickly.

In the end, it’s likely to be you and me indirectly making the donation.

It is a completely different usage of the money from the same source than Gina’s usage.

Someone poor who donates money and goes without is a big gesture as or more so than millions of dollars donated
