If you actually read the article, you'll see that 'she' is not asking for $1.5b, rather, the class action is seeking a total of $1.5bn, with $1bn being punitive damages and $500m being compensatory damage for 'the victims', which will presumably be put aside in a compensation management trust with 'the victims' able to draw down on it.
The amount that 'she' stands to gain from it is probably not that significant.
Assuming this ever gets to trial, or even if it's settled, the mountain of attorneys and law firms will get the bulk of any monies as is the case in every class action. The class will get peanuts.
