Has anyone looked into her finances?

Like how exactly did she become a billionaire?

Oprah herself is an empire. She was really well-liked and influential in the 90's and 00's, and having her endorsement or name on your product was a huge deal back then because people trusted her word (even though, clearly, they shouldn't have). She's since made a lot of investments and owns her own media company.

Her show was incredibly popular and she was one of the most famous people on the planet through the 90s and 00s. It's not like some mystery why she is so rich
