involved in her stories, sometimes crying along with guests who were having trouble, that
the television station decided to move her to a talk show. Oprah Winfrey never looked
back.
Winfrey took a struggling TV talk show in Chicago to the number one spot in the city,
then to the top-rated spot in the entire United States. Within a few years, Oprah Winfrey
had the most viewers of any talk show in history, and was on her way to launching a
series of successful TV and radio shows, magazines, websites, charities, and the world’s
most influential book club.
A millionaire by age thirty, and now a billionaire, Winfrey is often described as one of
the most powerful people in the world, and one of the most generous. Never forgetting
her roots, Oprah Winfrey helps people around the world and encourages others to
appreciate and share their good fortune.
