The city's loss of the 2016 Olympic bid isn't the only thing probably causing Oprah to cringe today. There's the news that the last year has not been financially kind to the big O. Yes, even Oprah suffers from the recession. According to this year's Forbes' 400 Richest Americans list, Oprah lost $400 million though she actually went up in the rankings (from No. 155 to No. 141). Overall, Oprah is worth $2.3 billion. [Sun-Times]



Marcus....may I be the first to say "Who Cares?" Thanks. Now I feel a little better.
Damn people are cranky this week. Is it the weather? The Olympics?
PMS. I see your "who cares" and raise you a "boo hoo."
She is looking a bit dumpy, too. Hate to pile on, but you can't help but notice.
We would have gotten the Olympics had we sent thin Oprah.
Every single on of us, even the employed ones, would assume Oprah's financial situation in a second. My guess is that Oprah losing $400M is like you or I leaving a wallet on the train: a royal pain in the ass tinged with regret but something that you get over and move on with your life.
Damn, what will this do to her budget for solid gold microphones?
