About Me

Oprah Winfrey transitioned her hit talk show, which ran for 25 years until 2011, into a media and business empire. Reinvested, the profits from her show, plus profits from films like The Color Purple, Beloved and Selma (which her Harpo Productions coproduced) add up to an estimated more than $2.5 billion. In 2011, Winfrey launched cable channel OWN. She sold most of her stake in the network to owner Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 in exchange for shares in the company. Her sprawling real estate portfolio includes homes in California and over a dozen properties including 2,100 acres of land in Hawaii.
