have you read the feature article about Oprah Winfrey in this magazine ?   no , what's it about ?   apparently , she's being given an award for donating so much money to charity .   she's very generous with her money . I think that's because she was poor when she was young .   I heard that she's one of the wealthiest women in the world .   I'd believe it . She owns magazines , television shows and she has a huge fan base .   you know ; I heard that she was opening a school for underprivileged girls in Africa .   did they mention that in the article ?   yes , she's not only building the school , but is also using her own money for the upkeep of the school and to pay the teachers a fair salary .   that's really commendable . I think more celebrities should use their money to help people like Oprah has .   I agree . So many celebrities waste their money on sports cars , expensive clothing , and luxurious hotels .   it's amazing how much money they can spend . I heard Britney Spears once spent $ 24,000 a night on a hotel room !   what a waste . It's good to see some stars that are more concerned with charity than status symbols .
