Oprah Winfrey Worth $ 2.9 Billion

17 Oprah Winfrey Worth $ 2.9 Billion BornRich

Born on: 29th Jan 54 Born in: United States Marital status: Single Occupation: Chairwoman and CEO of Harpo Productions Born Oprah Gail Winfrey has an estimated net worth of $2.9 billion. Oprah Winfrey was born in Mississippi to unwed teenage mother in 1954. After a difficult adolescence with her mother, where she suffered from sexual and physical abuse, she came under the supervision of her strict father in Nashville. Things improved for Oprah when she turned 18 and won the Miss Black, Tennessee beauty pageant, a win that led to a part time job at a radio station. In 1976 she moved to Baltimore to host a show called People are talking. By 1986, the Oprah Winfrey show was syndicated over more than 100 channels across the country and she was a phenomenon. A year later her talk show which was owned by her production company Harpo productions, was bringing 125 million USD annually. Considering that Oprah was born into poverty, she managed to become a millionaire by the time she was 32 years old. Considered the richest woman in entertainment, till recent years she was the only African American on the Forbes 400 list. However what makes Oprah truly unique is the influence she has over her fans. When she started Oprah book club, just about every title she selected instantly shot to the bestsellers’ list. The power of Winfrey's opinions and endorsement to influence public opinion, especially consumer purchasing choices, has been dubbed ""The Oprah Effect"". She was named as the one of the most influential person by Time right from 2004 to 2011. In 1999, the oprah brand continued to grow as she co founded Oxygen media and introduced O magazine which was an instant success. Her success also partly reflected in her swelling bank account as she became the America’s richest self-made billionaire woman. As her empire continues to grow with magazines, radio channels and Oprah Winfrey Network, this media icon has achieved a level of success and influence like nothing ever seen before in popular culture. The girl from Mississippi dedicates her success to her black female forerunners: author Maya Angelou (now a close friend), 19th-century abolitionist Sojourner Truth, and entrepreneur Madame CJ Walker.

Shutoff: Detroit's Water War

23 Shutoff: Detroit's Water War Vice News

Earlier this year, Detroit's Water and Sewerage Department began turning off water utilities for overdue or delinquent accounts. Since April, the department has cut off the water for nearly 3,000 households per week — meaning roughly 100,000 Motor City residents are without water. Entrenched at the bottom of Detroit's current economic crisis, many of those without water are the city's poorest resident.

Kim Kardashian's game makes $700,000 a day

25 Kim Kardashian's game makes $700,00… According to: CNN Money

Kim Kardashian is famous for doing nothing. Now she's got a game that's pulling in $700,000 a day where players have to do, well, nothing. "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" from Glu Mobile lets you create an avatar that can work to achieve virtual A-list status. Your mission: hob-nobbing with celebrities, going to a photo shoot and wearing expensive clothes. The game is free to download, but players spend real money on things like virtual clothes, virtual hairstyles and energy boosts for their avatars. The more your avatar does, the faster you can move up the ranks from the E List to the A List -- the objective of the game. If sales continue at their current rate, the game will gross $200 million in its first year, according to Doug Creutz, an analyst at Cowen and Company. That would put "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" in the big leagues with smash-hit mobile games such as Candy Crush.

Obama: US Companies To Invest $14 Billion In Africa

26 Obama: US Companies To Invest $14 B… Published by: News One

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration on Tuesday announced $14 billion in commitments from U.S. businesses to invest in Africa, as representatives from nearly 100 American and African companies gathered in Washington to discuss ways to boost economic partnerships. During a panel discussion with CEOs, former President Bill Clinton declared that the U.S. has “only barely scratched the surface” of Africa’s economic potential. Indeed, Africa’s economy is enjoying rapid advancement. The continent is home to six of the world’s fastest-growing economies. And a decade of solid growth has created a middle class with increased spending power – 350 million strong in 2010 by the African Development Bank’s count, up from 220 million in 2000. SEE ALSO: Empowering Africa’s Next Generation of Leaders Other nations, most notably China, have been moving aggressively to tap into growing African markets. China surpassed the U.S. as Africa’s largest trading partner in 2009. “We also realize we have some catching up to do,” said Michael Bloomberg, the former New York City mayor and a billionaire businessman. “We are letting Europe and China go faster than the U.S.” President Barack Obama was scheduled to address the business summit Tuesday afternoon. The American companies represented at the day-long meeting include Chevron, Coca-Cola Company, IBM and Mastercard. Also participating in the forum was Jeff Immelt, the CEO of General Electric. During the panel moderated by Clinton, Immelt appealed to the U.S. Congress to renew the charter for the Export-Import Bank, which helps finance American exports. Some Republicans want to shutter the bank when Congress returns from recess next month, arguing that the bank’s spending is politically motivated and unnecessary. But Immelt said Tuesday that the bank signals to other countries that the U.S. government is interested in investing overseas. “The fact that we have to sit here and argue for it is just wrong,” he said. The business commitments being announced by the Obama administration Tuesday include a $2 billion investment by GE by 2018, $200 million in investments across Africa by Marriott, and a $66 million commitment by IBM to provide technology services to Ghana’s Fidelity Bank. The business forum is part of a broader U.S.-Africa summit being held in Washington this week. Nearly 50 African heads of state are in Washington for the three-day conference. Beyond boosting business ties, the summit also focuses on security partnerships and supporting a new generation of African leaders.
