We recently mentioned Oprah's home improvements. Ever wonder how she commutes to her California home when she does her show in Chicago? Private plane, of course, and she will soon have a new plane to decorate. It has been reported that she will soon receive a custom-built Global Express XRS from Bombardier Aerospace. The $47-million executive jet has seating for 10 passengers and has a leather interior with designer fixtures for the bathroom and galley. There is an aft stateroom for naps as well as a crew rest area and of course a large main cabin with every amenity Oprah could possibly require.
I am shocked at the low level of intelligence displayed in these comments. Guess I shouldn't be but wow, most of you surprise me with your rudeness and blatant foul mouths. You eat with those things?
Well I believe all the people out there who are Judging Oprah and saying she is acting racist are crazy! Who is saying Oprah is racist? I hope not white people! Because, majority of Oprah's audience is mostly white. Most of the people on her show has been white people? Look at Dr. Phil he has gotten rich after he appeared on Oprah. No one even knew who Dr. Phil was. Coming from a black woman I never judged Oprah. I have heard other black people refer to her as a "Untie Tom', or whatever. But I beleive she catered to her audience. Oprah has worked hard for the things she has. How long has she been a Journalist? About 25 years right! How long does she have to wait to reward herself! What has John Travolta done to educate the world? Nothing. But no one said anything about him, and he has several planes. People just said, "He's a pilot? Wow! He's so talented"! Get a grip! Give respect, When respect is due people! Deb, focus that hate on yourself maybe u will get a jet someday!
I think Oprah is one of the most wonderful women of our time. She is one of the most caring, generous loving people and I am really proud of her. She is definitely going to be to be known as one of our most greatest women in history. She has worked hard for everything she has and shares her wealth. You go Oprah We Love You!
lord, what crazy people post on here. one person doesn't like Oprah and she has to be called all of those vulgar names? Hate to break it to you uneducated losers, but I seriously doubt Oprah would like twice at anyone who spoke that way, much less "typed" that way. Unless your posts were meant to show how hardcore and ghetto you are, you really ought to rethink typing without a dictionary.
I think anyone that says anything negative about Oprah is just ignorant of her accomplishments and jealous. If you really want a group of rich people to bitch about, go look at the documentary "Wal-mart; The high costs of Low Pricing." Those Walton kids and the people running that company will give you plenty to be bitchin about and then you can compare their actions with Oprah's and then stick your foot right in your mouth (where it belongs because someone really needs to take a nap and shut-up).
YOU GO OPRAH!!! Sounds like AVERAGE JOE is a wee bit jealous and may have not made it past the 3rd grade! Terrible spelling!! GIVE AWAY SOME MORE CARS ON YOUR SHOW, OPRAH...so I can win my 9th one!!
Ummm, yeah. Oprah gave those Pontiac Vibes away on her show BECAUSE SHE IS SPONSORED BY PONTIAC!!! Geez, people get a grip. And who left that nasty remark about buying a plane made in the USA...who cares, half the merchandise you buy at any retail outlet is made in Japan, China, or Tawain..check it out. I think its hilarious how a black woman makes it to the top of the money chain and shes "arrogant and self-righteous," but there have been rich white people around forever, and they never get called such a thing. You want to bitch about someone, bitch about Paris Hilton; Id love to see how much money SHE HAS ACTUALLY EARNED ON HER OWN, and how much SHE GIVES TO CHARITY. Its ridiculous to sit on your behind and judge people because they are more successful and have way more money than you do. Geez.
Oprah deserves everything she has achieved in this lifetime. She is a very giving person her many humanitarian contributions to several orphanages in Africa these children do not have the luxuries are children have. How about her campaign to track down these sick pedophiles and to keep them locked up. I commend her for everything she has done. She has money and she uses for good causes, I truly believe she is an angel.
"Check out the ratio she gives to charity compared to what she actually spends on herself?" NEWSFLASH: ITS HER MONEY that SHE EARNED!! She can spend it anyway she please. Who wrote that nonsense about her having a child instead of spending money on airplanes, thats laughable; apples and oranges thats all I'm saying.
Other than Bill Gates, I have never heard of anyone else donating as much money to others who are less fortunate as Oprah has. I mean millions of dollars. It isn't like she takes all of her money and spends it on herself only. She has done so much for so many people. I do think she is materialistic, but who wouldn't be with billions of dollars? I think we would all like to have the best if we could afford it. We can only hope she does this show until she is sop old she can't do it anymore. It would benefit the world in more ways than financially if she could do it. This is a Deb who cares about others and Oprah included.
I am a white 63 yr. old grandmother of 2 beautiful granddaughters. I watch Oprah almost every day, may miss 3 or 4 per month. She has done so much for everyone...rich, poor, black or white. She has many friends of all races. There are very few shows I cannot watch with my children or grandchildren. Her sole purpose in life is to help everything and everyone. I highly commend Oprah. I just wish I was able to do what she does. Sure she has beautiful homes, cars, etc. etc. and now a plane. Go for it, Oprah. You have worked hard for it. God blesses those who help themselves. Keep up the good work! We love you.
Only God has the right to judge. My friend in Nashville Corky knows her very well. He has eaten bologna sandwiches with her and her dad. Even though I lost my brother amd son (Pugsly...my dog. I an in need of help but I don't think its right to ask a person for help just because of thier wealth. Oprah is as honest as she knows how to be. Give credit where credit is due. And please stop with the she is gay crap. My best to you Oprah and may God guide and help you with your enemies.Stan
I like Oprah. She has given financial advice to ordinary people who are interested in being financially independent. Now for those who think that attaining dollars and knowing how to spend them is simple, YOU go for it and let's see what decisions you make.
Oprah probably has to rely on others to determine which planes to buy.
I'd like to just sit in the audience for a show. This woman has given her life to her work, which benefits a whole lot of other people. If she can feel rewarded by buying a plane, I say more power to her.
What she buys, and how much she should give to charity can easily be well debated for either side, so I won't bother with that one. With that said, a bigot is a bigot is a bigot. I don't care if she even gave her entire wealth to charity to go live in a hut in Cambodia, she is still a bigot, and that really sucks.
If you don't see her racism, you are blind, ignorant, or in denial because you have like minds.
I think that Opra is a beautiful person and she wouldnt be where shes at in life if it was not meant to be. what ever you put into this life is what you get back out of it. and she deserves every thing she has so quit knocking her.
I'm so sick of lazy, uneducated dreck who drifted through school thinking they even have the right to associate with or criticize the effort-making people whose hard work has built a country that affords them the opportunity to sit around, watching TV and bitching about things. It's your scams that make insurance expensive. It's your ignorance that is catered to and makes the broad media so lacking in quality. I'm tired of the way you look at me if I expect you to actually do your job in those places that are required to hire you and cannot fire you. How do you even know how to turn on a computer if your minds are so gutter worthy? Give it 20 years, and see what your effect is on our economy, and I'll be there to see your faces when there is no more money to support your miserable existence
