Oprah Confessed That She Has Very Few Friendships, Then Shared The Names Of Her Inner Circle

Everyone knows the name Oprah. She’s one of the most famous women in the world. But sometimes, mega-fame can mean a lonely life. Oprah has a fabulous social circle, there’s no doubt about that, but does she have many genuine friends? No is the answer. And she’s recently opened up about the very few people she can actually trust.

Oprah’s billions

Oprah is massively successful by any metric. She’s rich beyond most people’s wildest dreams, for a start. At the turn of the millennium, she officially became a billionaire. And she’s remained near the top of the so-called richest celebrities’ lists ever since. Analysts think that she pulls in at least $300 million per year. Not bad going!

Giving money away

The money isn’t necessarily everything for her, though. Oprah is a big philanthropist — philanthropy of course being a great help when it comes to making friends. She divides a lot of her cash between foundations, including her own, and global charities such as the Clinton Foundation and Free the Children.

Highly awarded

Unsurprisingly, Oprah also has shelves full of awards. Yup, she’s bagged a whopping 18 Daytime Emmys, two Primetime Emmys, and she’s also gained two Academy Award nominations for her work in the movies. And thanks no doubt to the aforementioned philanthropy, in 2013 she received the highest award an American civilian can get, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Multiple houses

Oprah’s wealth has given her the ability to purchase pretty much whatever piece of real estate she likes. She reportedly has at least $200 million in land — not to mention some pretty impressive houses. She’s got property in Maui, Colorado, and Montecito, and her main residence is apparently a massive $90 million mansion.
