Oprah might be one of the world’s richest people, but she isn’t satisfied just yet. She wants to share the wealth. Of course we don’t mean she wants to give away her own hard-earned money. She wants to use her fame and influence to help people make their own fortunes.
Oprah has helped launch the tremendously successful careers of these 10 people, taking them from nobodies to multimillionaires.
1. Nate Berkus
Famous for taking spaces from drab to fab, America’s favorite interior decorator has made more than 50 appearances on Oprah’s shows over the years. With Oprah’s endorsement, this talented designer has managed to build a career of his own worth more than $6 million. He’s written several best sellers, hosted his own talk show, created a collection of home décor for retail giant Target, and is even the judge and host of a home makeover reality show. It’s safe to say that the next time he’s sending out thank-you cards, one should head straight to Oprah’s house.
