Kudos to anyone keeping their private life private. More people should have THAT concept explained to them.... And after all the abuse Oprah went thru, the fact that she is a stable and kind person worth mega-billions is a miracle!

I wish I had half her money.

Applaud this instead of worrying about who she sleeps with at night.

She's not all talk.

Oprah Winfrey is the most charitable celebrity – by a huge margin – giving away more than $40 million primarily through the Oprah Winfrey Foundation for causes including education and programs for women and children, according to a national philanthropic group.

Novelist Nora Roberts came in second, donating $4.45 million to the Nora Roberts Foundation to support literacy in underserved communities, followed by actress Meryl Streep, who gave $4 million to the Silver Mountain Foundation for the Arts.

These contributions were made in 2009, the most recent year financial information was available, according to The Giving Back Fund, which compiled the celebrity list.

"There are many generous celebrities, but when you can top a list of celebrity philanthropists three out of four years, as Oprah has, that is saying something,” said Marc Pollick, president of The Giving Back Fund, which creates and professionally manages charitable foundations and other philanthropic programs for entertainers, athletes, business entrepreneurs and corporations.

For its data, The Giving Back Fund culls media reports and tax forms and speaks to publicists, agents and others close to the celebrity, but it does not count pledges or promises to donate or donations to public charities, which are not publicly disclosed.

Oprah Winfrey Gives $40 Million to Charity

That's a significant amount of LOOT. And to think: She could have just given ME that 40 Mil and never missed it. Really though, thank God for philanthropists like Oprah.

She could have given me 10 mill and I woulda been straight. I'd have cash left over to give to charities of my choice. She need to pay it forward.....in my direction.

And on another note....OPRAH IS NOT UGLY! Just had to put that out there. I don't see it at all. She looks nice to me and average without her makeup.
