Claim Fame : "The Oprah Winfrey Show"
Oprah Winfrey is best known, for her unique, compelling style and personal revelations as talk show host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, seen by 21 million viewers a week, in 105 countries. A shrewd businesswoman, Oprah has parlayed her initial success in television into numerous other ventures, including the creation of her own production company which now owns and produces her talk show. Despite her fame, power, and wealth virtually spring from all of her projects – Oprah has a different view of her status; for her, success is “getting to the point where you are absolutely comfortable with yourself ... to have the kind of internal strength and internal courage it takes to say, ‘No, I will not let you treat me this way’ is what success is all about.”
Winfrey recently made a deal to extend her show until the 2010-2011 season, by which time it will have been on the air twenty-five years. She also plans to host 140 episodes per season, until her final season, when it will return to its current number, 130.
Oprah Winfrey is believed to be worth over $1 Billion according to the 2004 Forbes Magazine Issue. Oprah currently resides in Montecito, California where she bought the house off the original owner for $50 million dollars and she also owns a house in Lavalette, New Jersey
