What did you do in your years: Oprah Winfrey - 60
Oprah Winfrey today is 60 years old. The most popular African American of the United States and, perhaps, the world, got out of poverty, for half a century has added to the list of achievements something else besides the TV show. We recall the main features of Oprah, for which she fell in love with everyone and everywhere, including Saudi Arabia.
Oprah knows how to love
Despite the impressive (in his youth) list of bad boyfriends and really passionate relations with each of them, Oprah has a regular partner since 1986 - Stedman Graham, an American businessman and teacher. They are not married, although they were married in November 92nd, preferring "spiritual union", whatever that means. During this time, Oprah did not even flirt with anyone. True, there were rumors that they parted several years ago and Oprah excluded Stedman from the will, but none of them have yet commented on this. In any case, life does not spoil Oprah’s former friends, he doesn’t say anything bad, and for the most part he blames himself for all the problems. Gold!
Oprah can be friends
Oprah has one best friend, Gale King, with whom they have been inseparable for exactly 40 years. Their friendship is so close that the tabloids have repeatedly suspected them of homosexuality. Oprah, being a cultured man, prone to empathy, is explained to the media in tears (literally), but sometimes gets tired and shrugs off the beach-faces.
Oprah can work
For the 25-year history of The Oprah Winfrey Show (daily notice), Winfrey did not miss a single day. That is, literally - the show, like Winfrey itself, always went on time and was never canceled. Of course, some records could be interchanged and adjusted to the Oprah schedule, but the fact remains: Winfrey is amazingly punctual and responsible.
Oprah cheeky
In all seriousness, Oprah allows herself to teach rappers like Ludacris and 50 Cent for the antifeminist tonality of their music, so to speak. She likes some representatives of hip-hop culture, for example, Kanye West or Jay-Z. For the latter, she repeatedly intervened when he was reproached for excessively commercializing the image and lack of interests working for the good of society.
Oprah spends fortunes for charity
The language of numbers would say best: Oprah donated $ 400 million for educational purposes, $ 12 million for the construction of the Smithsonian National Museum of African History and Culture, $ 10 million for victims of Hurricane Katrina, paid 400 scholarships. Oprah basically loves wide gestures: once she gave a car to all the participants of her show - a Pontiac G6 at the price of 28 thousand dollars.
At the same time, Oprah is a model of democracy.
Despite the fact that in the last year’s Forbes ranking, Oprah has once again outstripped all the celebrities of the world, she prefers not to demonstrate her security in everyday life (well, frankly, wealth) and often goes outside in shales and sweatshirts. This habit once played a cruel joke with a TV presenter and became a good test for stereotypes: during a trip to Switzerland for the wedding of her friend Tina Turner Oprah she went to a local boutique in shabby fashion, where she was refused to show the bag with the words “it’s too expensive for you, dear ".
And generally supports democracy
Despite the fact that Barack Obama has long ceased to be considered an impeccable politician, Oprah consistently supports him - and at the same time has a great time with the first lady. Which we, by the way, recently also congratulated on the anniversary.
Oprah - role model of Arab women
When the Oprah show appeared on Saudi Arabia’s satellite channel in 2004, it instantly became a sensation among local girls. Months later, The Oprah Winfrey Show was the top-rated English-language program in the under 25 category: all young girls under 25 watched it, and this age group is one third of the population of Saudi Arabia. But the point is not in the ratings: They began to truly worship the Opris and listen to it there.
