Actually Oprah’s been in the top ten since 1988
This is amazing and it is just one more thing to add to her many accomplishments.
But when I look at ‘Oprah’ I don’t brand her with being a minority, a female in a man’s world. I just see her as a human being that had some hardships at an early age and over came all of that to become happy with herself, and in finding that happiness she became a huge success.
And yes I look up to her as well, I think many generations will for a very long time!!

I just simply see Oprah as a media powerhouse who has accomplished so much including starting her OWN network!!!
