Oprah Winfrey
Someone once told me she was one of the most powerful women in America. Would someone care to explain why? I thought she was just a talk show host...

Because she has an assload of money, owns a magazine company and a myriad of homes and mansions, is loved by all for her charity, etc. etc. etc.
Plus, she can give away a free convertible to every audience member in a single day. That's some spending powah.

I think she is like the richest person on the planet, well, one of them. I know she's seriously wadded tho.
Why does one person need so much money O_o Id end up giving most of it away

To quote.. some Hugh Grant film:
Woman: How do you SLEEP at night with all of that money?
Hugh Grant's character: Well, I have a machine that simulates the sound of the ocean.
All that I know of Oprah is what I hear from American sitcoms, and I gather that she is very respected and influential and whatnot. Did not too bad for a talk-show host.

Well, Rikki Lake didn't do anything else to amass wealth. Oprah multi-tasked.

Apparently, she's like, one of the worlds only Black Billionaires, but gives loads of it away to charity.
Does she still have her talk show? O_O

Can't say Iv seen her about at all recently, so Iv no idea. I don't really watch all that much tv tbh, it's mostly just there as background so I never really have any idea what is going on in the world

her talk show is probably the reason why she is very powerful.
millions and millions of people watch her tv show everyday, that means she could influence a huge amount of people, power isnt necessarily from being a world leader.
sorry if that sounds condescending
