quote:

In order to live your best life, you've got to love the place you call home—or in Oprah Winfrey's case, the multimillion dollar homes you own all over the country.

It should come as no surprise to anyone that the media mogul's real estate portfolio is the stuff of dreams. According to Forbes, she's got a net worth of around 3.1 billion (yes, with a B), so dropping $28 million on a horse farm barely even puts a dent in Queen O's wallet.

Earlier this year, Oprah purchased the Seamair Farm Estate, a 23-acre horse farm in Montecito. The "once in a lifetime property" hadn't been on the market in over 30 years, so Oprah was lucky to purchase the lavish property at auction.

it's cool, every cycle a different hollywood celebrity will buy the dying, crumbling democratic party, cannibalize its remaining resources at the expense of downticket races across the country, and either fail against whatever hideous atavasim the republicans manage to conjure up for their nominee or preside over four years of mildly refereed imperial decline until the next contest of money and morons

the OBWGPWSBCAOIOJSVPATTSATNSOSR scenario if you will

I don't think it's very likely though

I have to admit, I think I would have to vote for OBWGPWSBCAOIOJSVPATTSATNSOSR over Trump if those were the only two choices.

That doesn't seem like a very likely scenario, however

literally a gilded age mansion.

i love how she bought a 2500 square foot apartment in the heart of downtown chicago, but that wasn't big enough so she bought 3 of the surrounding apartments to a 9600 square foot apartment.

this is going to play great if the housing market crashes again before 2020

Purchasing as much housing as her heart desires is a rounding error on Oprah's finances. She's rich in a way Trump can only dream about; she's liquidity rich.

To be fair she's still not Bill Gates rich.
