Although I've rearely watched her show, it's been hard not admire Oprah. She's a self-made tycoon who has done a lot of good for a lot people. She started her book club, which made reading literary novels a passion again for many Americans, and then she restaretd her book club with even better non-contemporary novels, helping Americans to rediscover authors like John Steinbeck and Carson McCullers (two of my personal favorites). And now there's this, via Instapundit (as usual):

Winfrey, 52, who is reportedly worth more than $1 billion, said she doesn’t feel guilty about her wealth. “I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips,” she said. “I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, ‘Don’t you just feel guilty? Don’t you just feel terrible?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.’ Then I said when we got home, ‘I’m going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I’ll feel good about it.’"
