How Did Oprah Make All of Her Money 10 Surprising Stories
How Did Oprah Make All of Her Money 10 Surprising Stories Weâre 11 days into 2018 and Oprah Winfrey is already winning the year. At the 75th Golden Globe Awards, Oprah became the first black woman to win the Cecil B. DeMille Award. In her empowering acceptance speech, Oprah talked about the fight for equality, race, and the #MeToo movement in what we already think will be the best speech of the year. With a net worth of $2.8 billion (yes, thatâs billion with a B), Oprah knows a thing or two about money and smart business moves. But it may be surprising to learn she says money was never a priority. Oprah has been quoted as saying that her secret to success was simple: âThe reason Iâve been able to be so financially successful is my focus has never, not for one minute, been money.â Even though she grew up with very little money, Oprah has proven to be strategic and passionate with her money. âI donât think anyone can question that she has made some sound financial decisions,â Jenn White, host of the podcast Making Oprah, told MONEY. Here are 10 things you may not know about Oprah and her money. 1. Oprah owns at least three real estate propertiesâ"and theyâre all stunning. ?? Oprah currently lives in her lavish Montecito, Calif., home, a peaceful oasis she calls âThe Promised Land.â She bought the 40-acre home for $50 million in 2001 (according to Oprah Winfrey: A Biography, she paid for this home with a personal check peak #Goals). She expanded the property by double in 2015 when she purchased a nearby 42-acre farm for $29 million. Oprah loves this home and will open it up to throw lavish parties. She recently invited reporters for the launch of her book, The Wisdom of Sundayâs. She told those in attendance that she âpaid a lot of money for this property but every single day I can tell you I look at it as a gift. Thereâs not a day that I wake up that I donât have a sense of appreciation and gratitude for it. When you live in a space of gratitude, you get to see more.â Oprah's 'promised land' Carrillo/CelebrityHomePhotosâ"Newscom In 2006 she threw a 3-day celebration dubbed the âLegends Ballâ at her Montecito home. Big-name attendees such as Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson, John Legend, and Maya Angelou attended. At the end, itâs rumored she gifted all the women diamond earrings. She also owns a property in Maui, Hawaii, which she bought for $50 million. The property was discovered by her personal trainer, who turned into her property manager. He was worried it might get torn down to build condos, so she bought the property. She has no plans to build condos, and says she wants to keep the home small and personal. âShe liked [the homeâs] small scale,â said Ellie Cullman, Oprahâs decorator, of the Hawaii estate. âShe already has a large home in Santa Barbara [County]â"this seems to go back to something real and personal. Itâs a great house for her and two or three friends.â Oprah says her home suffered âminor damageâ in the recent California mudslides. She took to Instagram to show the damage. She also has a winter property in the ski resort town of Telluride, Colo., which she bought for $14 million in 2015. Sheâs completely left the Chicago area where she resided earlier in her career. She recently sold her last property there for just under $400,000. Her famous Water Tower condo sold in 2015 for $4.6 million. Oprah's estate in Hawaii Erik Aederâ"Getty Images 2. As a teen, Oprah would steal money from her motherâs purse. In Oprah Winfrey: Profile of a Media Mogul, author Jeanne M. Nagle wrote that Oprah earned a scholarship to attend an affluent high school. While she was there, she became friends with wealthy people. Coming from a low-income family, Oprah was embarrassed by her financial situation and started to steal money from her motherâs purse to try and fit in with her peers. She used that money to go out with her friends. Eventually, her mom found out. âShe continued to lie to and fight with her mother and get involved with older boys,â Nagle writes. Her mother decided to send her to a juvenile detention home, but there was no space. So she sent Oprah to live with her father in Nashville, Tenn. 3. Her first job paid 50 ¢ an hour. Oprah was 15 years old when she started babysitting for a woman named Mrs. Ashberry in Nashville, earning only 50 ¢ an hour (minimum wage was $1.30 in 1969). One day, Mrs. Ashberryâ"whose bedroom âalways looked like the end-of-the-day, last-call sale at Macyâs,â Oprah wrote on Oprah.comâ"asked her to clean it. She did, but Mrs. Ashberry didnât pay her extra. So Oprah quit and started looking for âa job where I thought my efforts would be appreciated.â She eventually took an unpaid job in her fatherâs shop, which she didnât like either but at least she didnât feel like her âspirit was being drained by the hour,â she wrote. 4. Now, Oprahâs money comes from at least nine income streams. ?? MONEY always suggests having additional income streams because theyâre so important to gaining wealth. Most wealthy people have many income streams, and Oprah is no different. She is an extremely busy lady! (Ryan Seacrest who?) Here are just a few of the income streams we know about: The bulk of her money still comes from her talk show years, according to Forbes Media Proprietor: Founded Harpo Productions, chief executive of the Oprah Winfrey Network, founder of O, The Oprah Magazine, which reaches roughly 2.4 million peopleâ"thatâs more than Rolling Stone and Real Simple Actress Voice Actor: âA Wrinkle in Timeâ, âThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacksâ, âThe Color Purpleâ, âThe Butlerâ, âSelmaâ, âThe Princess and the Frogâ, âBee Movieâ Producer: âGreenleafâ, âThe Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacksâ, âOprahâs Master Classâ, âQueen Sugarâ Investor: She owns 10% stake in Weight Watchers Author: The Wisdom of Sundays, Food Health and Happiness, Mr. or Mrs. Just Right: Because Mr. Or Ms. Right Does Not Exist!, What I Know For Sure Speeches and Appearances Freelance Journalist: Special contributor at 60 Minutes Licensing: She created a new line of healthy soups and sides called O, Thatâs Good! and her magazine has partn ered with Talbots to release a fashion collection 5. Sheâs taken big risksâ"and persevered when they didnât work out. ???? Oprah was at the height of her TV career when she decided to make one of her biggest money moves. In 2011, Oprah left her talk show to launch her own channel, The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). Despite her showâs popularity, Oprahâs new venture had a rough start. The network was losing money in its first few years and Oprah had reached her âbreaking point.â Oprah didnât give up. She started to bring in creators like Tyler Perry to help turn the network around. Recently, Oprah sold a $70 million stake in OWN to Discovery, giving up her majority control of the network. Still, Oprah will serve as OWNâs chief executive through 2025. US First Lady Hillary Clinton (R) stands with television talk show star Oprah Winfrey (L) during an appearance on Winfrey's television show 16 May. POOLâ"AFP/Getty Images 6. She doesnât know her ATM PIN and rarely goes to the bank. Oprah told Ellen Degeneres that she recently stood in line at her bank to deposit a $2 million checkâ"just because. Oprah said she hadnât stepped foot in a bank since 1988 and apparently missed it. Again, peak #Goals. In that same interview, Oprah admits to Ellen that sheâs not sure if she even has an ATM PIN. Ellen, who is also crazy rich, relates. Imagine being so rich you donât even know your own PIN. 7. She is the first black woman billionaire in history. ?? Oprah surpassed Bill Cosby as the wealthiest African-American in 1995. Eight years later, Oprah passed an even bigger milestone. Forbes declared Oprahâs net worth to be $1 billion in 2003, making her the first black woman in the history to become a billionaire. 8. But that hasnât necessarily made life easier. While shopping in Switzerland in 2013, Oprah entered a high-end store and asked to see a $38,000 Tom Ford purse behind the counter. The saleswoman, according to Oprah, said âno, itâs too expensiveâ and told her to look at other, cheaper bags. The manager of the store responded to the incident saying it was â200% a misunderstanding.â 9. Even though she can afford literally anything, Oprah doesnât take things for granted. In a 2013 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah wrote that her Montecito mansion was so luxurious that she felt her guests could never relax. âThis is a very grand space, but I donât want to live in a grand space anymore,â she wrote. âI want dinners to reflect my heart and spirit. I want people to feel free to ask for seconds!â So she auctioned off hundreds of items to make her home more comfortable and relaxing for everyone. Afterwards, she says it was a liberating experience. âOver time your sense of self evolves,â Oprah wrote. âHopefully, you grow into a deeper, more thoughtful version of who you are. Your need to please falls away and what is left is the blessed realization that you really donât have anything to prove to anyone.â 10. And sheâs incredibly generous. ?? With all of her money, Oprah still remembers how it felt to grow up in poverty. âI was poor, literally poor, like no running water poor,â Oprah said at a Forbes 400 Summit. There was one instance she says shaped her whole outlook on philanthropy. One Christmas her mother told her they had no money, and there would be no Santa Claus. She was devastated and worried about going back to school to her friends and telling them about her Christmas giftsâ"or lack thereof. But nuns showed up at their house and brought food and gifts. She says she thought about that Christmas when she first went to South Africa to build The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy For Girls. Her hope was to âcreate that experience that I felt for myself, that sense of wonder that somebody cared about me that didnât even know my name.â Itâs been 10 years since the academy was founded, and Oprah has spent over $140 million on the school. All this goes to show that no matter how little or how much money you have, being able to give a helping hand to others is the greatest gift money can give. Weâre sure Oprah agrees.

4 Signs Your Interview Isnt Going Well - Work It Daily
4 Signs Your Interview Isnât Going Well - Work It Daily You did it â" you got the interview. You may think the hard part is over, but donât sit back and relax just yet. Thereâs a lot that can go wrong during an interview, and in many cases, small things that happen during the conversation can cost you the job. Related: 5 Ways To Recover From A Bad Job Interview So how do you know if your interview is going off the rails so that you can hope to turn it around? There are a few telltale signs you should look for. 1. They donât try to sell you on the company. Have you ever heard the expression âAn interview is about you trying to get to know the company just as much as theyâre trying to get to know you?â Itâs true â" you should be evaluating the company as theyâre evaluating your experience and skills. But if youâre doing this and the interviewer isnât working hard to sell you on the companyâs good traits, itâs probably not a good sign. Companies want their chosen candidate to accept the job offer, so for their top picks, theyâll typically try to mention job perks, company culture, opportunities for growth, and other positives. 2. Youâre only asked the easy questions. This may seem counter-intuitive. After all, if the company likes you, why would they ask you the challenging questions? But interviewers ask tough questions to candidates theyâre considering because they want to see how they think on their feet, and see how they will react to tough job situations. If they arenât actually considering you, theyâll stick with the easiest questions to answer. 3. The interview never gets personal. When interviewers are interested in a candidate, they will attempt to get to know them on a deeper level than questions like âWhat are your strengths?â can accomplish. They will often engage in chit-chat to make sure youâd be a good culture fit, and to make sure your personality will mesh well with other team members. If questions stay surface-level, there arenât follow-up questions based on your answers, and the interviewer is cut-and-dry instead of diving into more personal questions, youâre probably not a top candidate. 4. Thereâs no mention of next steps. Typically, at some point in the second half of the interview, the interviewer will bring up salary expectations, references, or follow-up interviews. Even if they donât do this, theyâll at least tell you at what point you should hear back about moving forward with your candidacy, or the estimated time that theyâre trying to fill the position. But if an interview ends without a discussion about what the next steps in the process are, it probably means there wonât be any. So what can you do if you start seeing some of these signs throughout the interview? Thereâs a chance that you may not be able to turn it around if the interviewer has already made up their mind â" but there are a few tactics you can employ to give yourself the best shot. Stay positive. Remember that thereâs a good chance the interviewer is having a busy day, has a million other things on his or her mind, or just doesnât have a very friendly or engaging personality. By projecting confidence and positivity, you have a chance to turn around their first impression. Ask great questions. This approach has two potential benefits. One is that you can ask the interviewer outright if they think youâd be a good fit for the role â" that way, if they bring up a specific concern they have with you or your experience, you have the chance to address it. Second, many recruiters and interviewers find that the type of questions a candidate asks say a lot about them. By asking insightful, thought-provoking questions, you may be able to increase the interviewerâs positive perception of you. Think of it as practice. Even if you feel pretty confident that you wonât get the job based on these signs, you can at least view the interview as good practice for a job thatâs a better fit for you. Try your best, and make a mental note of what you can improve the next time. Interviews are difficult, and no one likes knowing that their conversation isnât going as well as theyâd like. But by employing these tactics, you can have a better sense of what your interviewer is thinking, and attempt to course-correct to get the job.

Lying On Your Resume
Lying On Your Resume Lying on your resumeWhen a woman well call Mary was offered a high-level student-services position at a prestigious college, she was thrilled to accept. But two years later, Mary was fired despite strong wertmiger zuwachs reviews and a reputation as a rising star at the college. The reason? She lied on her resumeand got caught.An HR initiative requiring employees to furnish college transcripts revealed Mary lied about having a masters degree. It wasnt lack of a degree that cost Mary her job it was her dishonesty. Unemployed and with a blown reference to boot, Mary demonstrates what can happen when you lie on your resume.Companies are growing increasingly savvy in ferreting out resume cheaters through mora comprehensive hintergrund checks conducted both pre- and post-hire. Why the latter? Subpar job performance can prompt a follow-up investigation into an employees past. If dishonesty is discovered, it is often grounds for termination and possibly legal action.Yet Mary is hardly alone in falsifying information on a resume. Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics and a renowned economics professor at the University of Chicago, cites research suggesting that more than 50 percent of people lie on their resumes. And according toMonsters 2019 State of the Recruiter survey,85% of recruiters said that candidates exaggerate skills and competencies on their resumes.Given such repercussions as Marys fate, you might wonder why anyone would attempt to get away with lying on a resume in the first place. Levitt refers to a W.C. Fields quote in his explanation Anything worth winning is worth cheating for.Power (and misery) fosters temptationIn a kind of twist on the Peter Principle, which suggests that within corporate hierarchies, employees tend to be promoted until they reach their ultimate levels of incompetence, Levitt postulates that the higher up in the organization a person rises, the more likely it is that he or she will cheat.His observation is certainly borne out by news headlines about executives resigning in the face of resume dishonesty. Common resume lies include falsifying academic credentials, padding dates to mask employment gaps, exaggerating job titles, embellishing job responsibilities and achievements, claiming sole responsibility for team efforts and even making up fictitious employers.Levitt also found a correlation between mood and the temptation to cheat. The desperation felt when weeks of unemployment stretch into months, or the low morale experienced by someone employed but truly miserable in a job, appear to increase the incentive to lie.The big consequences of little liesThe best lies will be those that mirror reality, Levitt says. My hunch is that the reputed 50% of resume cheaters are mostly making little cheats here and there, for instance, to cover up times when they were out of the labor force for six months.Perhaps viewing these mistruths as harmless white lies or marketing spin, people who lie o n a resume may end up doing more damageto themselves and othersthan they realize.When someone else cheats, it hurts the honest people, Levitt says. Honest job seekers can be edged out of competition by individuals who give themselves an unfair advantage by fabricating or exaggerating credentials.And what about the damage cheaters do to themselves? Even if you are never caught, you will have to live in constant fear that someday you will be caught and punished and with the guilt of knowing what you did was wrong, Levitt warns.Hisresearch findings and the stories of job seekers who got caught lying on their resumes are cautionary tales to anyone in the workforce You jeopardize your future when you lie about your past.Unsure about your resume? Get it checked outNo matter what the reason or justification for lying, if your resume isnt entirely truthful, know this You dont have to resort to lying to win a job.

Why its OK to Work Long Hours - The Muse
Why its OK to Work Long Hours - The MuseWhy its OK to Work Long Hours As Im writing this very article, its 930 PM on a Thursday. Ive already put in at least a solid 11 hours of work today and- in all honesty- I still feel like Im going pretty strong. I have another full day on the schedule for tomorrow, and will likely spend several more hours working over the weekend.Does that thought fill me with dread? Nope. Quite the opposite, actually. During an average week, I spend about 60 hours parked in front of my computer. Yes, its longer than the traditional workweek, but I really dont mind.Granted, Ill be the first to admit that my situations a bit different from somebody who works in an office. Im a freelancer, which means that- in addition to fulfilling that whole working in my pajamas clich- I also get to set my own hours, choose the projects Id like to work on, and occasionally even have trashy daytime television playing in the background. Its not the saatkorn as being surrounded by chatting co-workers and a boss breathing down my neck- I get that. (And Ill be the first to say that maybe Id feel a little differently about my demanding schedule if I was in that sort of scenario.) However, right now I love what I do, which means I spend a lot of time, well, doing it. Ive said before that being passionate about my work doesnt mean that I think every day is a walk in the park, but it does help to make those long hours far more tolerable- and sometimes even enjoyable.But, being that I make my living writing and reading an abundance of career advice, Im constantly surrounded by recommendations, tips, and phrases that look something like this (hey, Ive even written some of them)Maintain adequate work-life balance. Dont become a workaholic. Shut down at a certain time each evening. You should only work this number of hours in a day. Dont check your email on the weekends. Youre going to burn out.Listen, I understand it- this advice comes from a well-meaning place. I ne ver want to be the one to advocate letting your job consume your life, and I definitely dont want to glorify becoming a workaholic. However, I do feel the need to stand up and be a mouthpiece for those of us who work what others might consider crazy hours. Because seeing these tips over and over and over makes me feel guilty when I take a look back at my week and see that the majority of my time was spent working. And thats not fair to meDont get me wrong I believe work-life balance is important. But, much like the rest of your career, what you consider to be an adequate balance is personal. And if theres one thing I want you to realize, its this Its not anybody elses job to dictate what another persons idea of career happiness should look like. If your current schedule truly fulfils you, who is anybody else to tell you otherwise?When it comes to our work lives, I see this same principle come up again and again- the idea of living up to someone elses standards and expectations, rath er than your own individual ideals. You should be on this career track, or youre doing it all wrong. You should do this before heading to the office every morning, or your day will be off to a bad start. You should want to chase promotion after promotion and climb that proverbial ladder, or youre going nowhere.But, when you boil it all down, what all of us really want is simply a job that makes us happy. And, ultimately, the key to finding that is knowing yourself and then using that knowledge to build the career and the life that you want- whether that fits with the standard advice youve grown used to hearing or not. Because, at the end of the day, nobody knows you the way that you do.
