Everybody Loves Oprah

It`s a bird, it`s a plane, no, it`s Oprah Winfrey. No, Oprah will not literally be flying above your head, she will be seated in a $42 million leather seat. Apparently, the biggest name in entertainment has just purchased herself a Bombardier Global Express XRS jet for the whopping 42 million dollar price tag. Talk about flying with style! The executive jet will be able to seat 10 passengers and is tricked out to the T, including a state of the art entertainment system.

Though, one would assume that paying $42 million for anything would ensure that everything you want would be included. Besides the entertainment system, the executive jet sports leather interior, designer fixtures for the bathroom and galley and other luxuries that us normal people would probably never be able to afford to place in our homes. But, you can`t really hate Oprah for having the ability to afford this type of extreme travel toy. She is after all Oprah Winfrey, and frankly she deserves it.

As most of you entertainment fans already know, Oprah started out as a poor girl from the south. Somehow, she had the determination and strength to pull herself out of her environment in the hopes of becoming a success, and a success she became! Today, Oprah is one of the wealthiest people on the planet, as well as the richest black woman on earth. She is a multi-billionaire who doesn`t only know how to make money, but has no problems giving it away to the less fortunate.
