Oprah Winfrey

Before becoming one of the richest celebrities in the world, Oprah experienced incredible adversities in her life. As a young girl, she experienced wearing a dress made up of potato sack as her grandmother could not afford to buy her proper clothing. Her resiliency, intelligence, and innate communication skills became her weapons. And eventually earned a huge spot in the entertainment industry. Like any other celebrity, she also started from the bottom and climbed her way up to stardom. Her talk shows The Oprah Winfrey Show takes credit for her fame and subsequently whatever she has had.

Now that her syndicated show is gone, she is still interviewing various personalities. For example, in March 2021, she interviewed the royal couple, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Moreover, she invested her time in her food business, starring in films and innumerable ventures in showbiz. As of August 2021, her most updated net worth is $2.7 billion, Forbes revealed.
