Oprah Winfrey is not only famous but powerful in the entertainment industry. Her TV talk show was first seen locally in Chicago in nineteen eighty-four. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" went national two years later and became a huge hit.
She has announced plans to end the show in September of two thousand eleven after twenty-five years.
This year's Forbes magazine list of the world's richest people estimated her wealth at almost two and a half billion dollars.
She founded the Oxygen media company, the Oprah's Angel Network charity and the Harpo film, television and radio production company. She also started O, the Oprah Magazine, and the list goes on. She has starred in several films and helped launch entertainment careers.
