Why does whey protein have more cholesterol than soy protein supplement?

I noticed while shopping in the store, whey protein has more cholesterol than soy protein supplement. It's 40mg (16% DV) in whey vs. 0mg in soy. Why is that?

    Whey is a dairy derivative. Animals produce cholesterol. Soy protein is a plant product.
