When it comes to talking about Oprah Winfrey, I am Speechless! Lets start off with a few of her points….

Oprah Gail Winfrey – Born January 29, 1954 (age 58)
Net Worth – $2.7 Billion
Movies and TV shows: The Oprah Winfrey Show, Dr. Phil, Oprah’s Lifeclass, More
First Black Woman to make a million and be on the the Forbes 100 Rich People’s list

That’s just a few of Oprah’s stats and believe me when I say there are many more! Oprah Gail Winfrey started the famous ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show” where couples, families and the general public would go on a televised talk show and talk to Oprah about there problems and receive some advice from Oprah herself – also a live audience will be there to watch and ask questions…Awkward!

Oprah was born in rural poverty, then raised by a mother on welfare in a poor urban neighborhood, Winfrey became a millionaire at age 32 when her talk show went national. Winfrey was in a position to negotiate ownership of the show and start her own production company because of the success and the amount of revenue the show generated. At age 41, Winfrey had a net worth of $340 million and replaced Bill Cosby as the only African American on the Forbes 400….Respect that!

Here is a video of Oprah accepting an award….

There is much more things I could tell you about Oprah Winfrey but we would be here all day! One thing everybody can learn from her is that, anything is possible no matter your background or where you grew up…She grew from poverty into wealth because she worked hard and didn’t use poverty as an excuse to stop her from excelling!

Aim High and Dream Big!
