Nurith NupurOprah Winfrey
Celebrated talk show host, billionaire media magnate, and philanthropist, Oprah Winfrey founded a whole empire on her extremely popular talk show. Her intimate and relaxed approach to everyone on her talk show revolutionized the way talk shows were hosted! Not many can say that! The way she conducted guests on her show never made them feel that they were a part of just another run-of-the-mill interviews, but rather a personal chat with another person. She’s also contributed largely to publishing due to her introduction of relatively unknown authors to the masses, and in turn, aiding in their rise in popularity and success. She’s touted as one of the richest African Americans in the world!
