But how much, exactly, is the mogul worth today? Forbes estimates Winfrey's net worth as $3.1 billion, putting her in 660th place on its list of billionaires (she was the first black woman billionaire in world history). Bloomberg has a slightly higher figureâ$3.4 billionâaccording to its Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Her success led to nationwide fame and a role in Steven Spielberg's 1985 film The Color Purple , for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. Winfrey launched the Oprah Winfrey Show in 1986 as a nationally syndicated program. With its placement on 120 channels and an audience of 10 million people, the show grossed $125 million by the end of its first year, of which Winfrey received $30 million. She soon gained ownership of the program from ABC, drawing it under the control of her new production company, Harpo Productions ('Oprah' spelled backwards) and making more and more money from syndication.
