Oprah Winfrey, host of The Oprah Winfrey Show, is one of—if not thee—most influential women in not only America, but countries worldwide. Her debut in Hollywood came in the movie, costarring Whoopie Goldberg, The Color Purple. Her encouragement, motivation, honesty and soundness have made her the Mother Teresa of today. Oprah has been named time and time again in publications such as Forbes, the “most powerful celebrity.” CNN and Time.com even called her “arguably the World’s most powerful woman.” She has topped the highest paid TV star list at an estimated $260 million a year, and she has been ranked “most generous,” and more—Oprah is the epitome of the “host with the most.”
