Oprah Winfrey Earned $260 Million Last Year!

So, the news is out. Oprah Winfrey earned $260 million dollars between June 2006 and June 2007. That is amazing! I have to wonder what one does with all that money. I don't think I could even imagine having that kind of dough, but if I did here is what I would do. First, I would put some of the money in an interest bearing account so my four daughters' college expenses are taken care of. I would ask my church if there was anything they needed, a new wing built, new equipment, any debts the church has, and then I would pay them off for them. I would also pay my mother-in-law back the money she loaned us, and would set aside some money for her and my parents in case they need some in the future. Next, I would pay off all my debts so that my family can be totally debt free. I would start with a clean slate and be able to just live my life and help individuals and organizations as the needs arise. I think I would thank God everyday for giving me so much, so that I could help so many. What would you do with all that money?

I'm really happy for Oprah,...

but what's even more fascinating is that, in America, she's only #242, and there are some below here who actually made more than her last year.

I love this concept of making money, and of course giving some back once you get there. Oprah donates enough of her money, and the top two guys, Gates and Buffet, are giving big donations these days also. Now that's where I'd love to be!

Reviews of Everything, reviews and opinions of, well, almost anything!

the problem with that kind of money

is that you end up with little free time to spend it! Though, I did see where Oprah has here hair and nails done at a salon on the west coast! I'd love to be able to fly back to my favorite place in Philly!
I'm with catfish and you - I'd love the chance to give away tons of money. I've had a mental list for years, but am sure I'll never have that kind of money to fulfill it. Oh well, maybe I'll just continue as a big tipper!

Wow, I could only dream. But good on Oprah!

I admire her greatly for her success. It is said that money of that sort can be a curse!

May I be thus afflicted, then! And may I NEVER recover :)!
