Oprah

 Oprah Winfrey Oprah Winfrey, an American media mogul as well as a television host she is also an author. Oprah has an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion. In the present, she earns about $315 million a year due to her highly lucrative diversified media empire. Oprah was initially famous for her show "The Oprah Winfrey Show" which debuted in 1986. It aired 4,561 shows over 25 seasons , and concluded on May 25, 2011. There's a simple reason Oprah is a multi-billionaire today and not being a multi-millionaire as are many of her contemporary television hosts. And it can be traced to a simple yet remarkable career choice made during the late 1980s. We'll show you how Oprah started Harpo, Inc. Media in 1986, which operated Harpo Productions, Harpo Studios, and a seemingly great contract with a salary of $1 million per year. Oprah created her show, later selling it to distributors. This is the reason Oprah made between $200-300 million a year when her show was on air. This was a lot more than the $5ish million per year her fellow superstar daytime hosts made at the time.
