Mt. Rushmore of Black Women Billionaires

[LuteHawk]

The first and only black woman to be a billionaire is
Oprah Winfrey. Today, she has a net worth of 3 billion
dollars. Oprah stands alone on Mt. Rushmore and there
is no competition in sight. The 61 year old media mogul
is at the top of her game in the twilight of her career.

Yesterday, Oprah Winfrey bought 10% of the stock in
Weight Watchers. On the news of her transaction the
stock of WW doubled in worth. So Oprah had a net
gain of $60 million dollars in one day. Not a bad haul
for a Monday.

I'm surprised at you Lute. Most conservatives dislike her for some reason or another, none of which makes much sense.

How long before Serena joins her? Oh wait, they pay higher endorsements to white players who aren't, by comparison, very good tennis players.

Uh, Opera is not the only black female billionaire.

I am a con and do not dislike her. I admire her for her talent, hard work and what she has accomplished. Please show where you got the "most cons dislike her" research please.

I thought for sure Linda Johnson Rice was a billionaire too, maybe not until daddy dies.

Oprah Winfrey has done much good with her money and
helped many people in the process. She is a role model
for women who start at the bottom of the economic/social
ladder and work their way to the top. She is one of the
most popular women in America for the past 20 years.

Get out. Rich people are greedy and the only way to achieve income equality is to forcibly take their money via the tax code and give it someone more deserving.
