I don't know if being a female CEO has much to do with it. She was making a lot of money because she was supposed to turn things around and save the company. Instead Yahoo made a ton of huge blunders, sold off Alibaba and then finally sold the company to Verizon for a fraction of what it used to be worth.
Some stake in Alibaba was required to be sold off during be IPO. The person she hired to be the liaison with Alibaba was able to keep over 100 million extra shares. And the deal to sell a huge stake was before she came on board. So that's not her fault at all.
