How do you know, in any way, what Oprah does that isn't noticed?  You don't...

 

Oprah has donated MILLIONS of dollars to various things, built schools in poor countries, etc.  When OPRAH does things like that...it is going to get noticed whether she likes it or not.  It was even more that way when she had her show.  There was very little a woman of Oprah's status can do without getting noticed by someone. 

 

What about Oprah's Leadership Academy for Girls?  She has put up $40,000,000 of her own money to get that Academy established.  What about in 2003 when she donated gifts at Christmas time for 50,000 children in South Africa so they could experience Christmas?  Did you know about the $10,000,000 of her own money she donated after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast?  What about the fund she set up at the same time for others to donate furniture and items for those in need?  Oprah's former charity, the Angel Network, was a HUGE charity and fund raiser.  She funded all administrative costs from the time it began in 1998 to the time it concluded in 2010.  Thus allowing every penny donated to go straight to charity.

 

What do you know about in 2000 when Oprah donated another $10,000,000 to enhance education for African children?  How about the garage sale, of her personal belongings, that raised $600,000 for one of her charities?

 

This was all after a simple and quick Google search...

 

Oprah's story is a fantastic one.  She went from nothing to being worth in excess of $2.9 billion per Forbes.  What she's done in between those points is even more spectacular.  I love Oprah and what she's done for society.  

 

Oprah is one of the most generous and charitable celebrities (or people in general) that you are going to find.  She has started and supported countless charities, donated her own money, her own time, to better the lives of others.

 

I wish that I was more like Oprah.
