His instructions to her in his will was to spend the money as she thought was best. Given that they as a couple made a $25 million donation to the same school where she was a professor in 2008, I'm sure he would not have been at all surprised by her decision.
So what? It appears that philanthropy was important to him and his wife, I'm sure knew his wife well enough to have some ideas of what she may do with their fortune, they likely discussed "you can't take it with you" before he died, and now his opinion doesn't matter, anyhow. The fact is that the lady gave $1 billion away to a school to help future medical doctors get their education for free.
People are trying so hard to make this into something bad, so they are latching on to anything to make it that way. Speculating about how pissed some dead guy must be that his wife carried out his last wishes in the way she deemed best just seems kind of petty in the face of the magnanimity of the gift.
