Henry Kissinger, Nelson Mandela, The Governator. The most powerful men in the world have one thing in common: they’re all friends with the most powerful woman, Oprah Winfrey. Oprah, has broken glass ceilings, changed the face of TV, and done it all while looking impeccable. From hobnobbing with world leaders to shopping with J.Lo, Oprah is a legend among superstars and everything she touches turns to cold hard cash.
From a personal chef to a facialist to security detail fit for the president, Oprah always employs the best and brightest to keep her in tip-top shape.
And when it’s time to party, Oprah and her celebrity pals always have a blast. For her 50th birthday, stars like Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks and John Travolta headed to a friend’s mansion in Montecito where they feasted on pound cake gilded with 23-karat gold and enjoyed the musical styling of the king of Motown himself, Stevie Wonder.
But when Oprah wants to relax at home, she can choose from any number of her luxury properties, from her sky-high duplex in Chicago, to her 105 acres of Hawaiian beachfront to her world-class $50 million Montecito mansion. And when you have at least $77 million worth of real estate, there’s no place like home.
Oprah is the ultimate multi-tasking media mogul. She’s taken the television, publishing and film industry by storm. Her daytime self-titled talk program draws 23 million viewers a week, nationally. And now her fans can get a triple dose of Oprah with her cable endeavor, Oxygen and her publication, O magazine. If that weren’t enough, she’s won the much-coveted respect of the entertainment industry. Oprah and her show have won 39 Emmys, one Oscar nomination and one Golden Globe for her acclaimed role in The Color Purple.
Add up all of Oprah’s wealth and you have the first black woman billionaire. Worth $1.1 billion Oprah is not only changing the face of media, she’s trying to change the world too. Some of her charities include, a donation of $7 million to Morehouse College and $10 million to The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls South Africa. This super-mogul gives like no other and lives like no other. For Oprah Winfrey, life isn’t just great - it’s fabulous.

It’s amazing how successful she became from just being a daytime talk show host. I like that she’s really generous with her earnings and gives back to the community.
Oprah is just a pure genius, and she kept herself out of jail unlike Martha Stewart. ;)
^ Lol!
Terry gave the title “Worlds most powerful women” to Oprah, even though shes on Canadian television, I dont seem to know enough about her to think that she is that impressive, sides that fact that she has so much money and property.
well i’m sure she had more than enough money to keep her out of jail too. =P
Here’s a website that shows her achievements and gives a brief bio. http://www.achievement.org/autodoc/page/win0bio-1 Inspiring if you ask me. I’m glad that she’s giving back to the world, not many celebrities do.
