Oprah Winfred Swallows Them All


In latest Forbe’s list of the highest-earning media personalities (below); Oprah Winfrey already a billionaire, made the fattest bucks for 2007. We should remember that she brought Dr. Phil into the Millionaires Club. Evidently, this shows any person Oprah touches could turn gold: the doc made it to an envy position of # 4 beating the vets like Regis Philbin and others.

What really monumental about Oprah's earnings is that her income alone is more than the sum of 8 others A- listers combined, with exception of Howard Stern.

Although, Tyra Banks has been in denial that she got inspired by Oprah. But she appears to be coming high. We would see if she can accomplish something closer, years from now.

And in Hollywood, Will Smith and Cameron Diaz top the movie stars by taking home $80 and $50 million respectively.
