Oprah needs no introduction. We’re all familiar with Queen O, but let’s play a little Oprah Winfrey by the numbers:

All the Biggest & Most Expensive Celebrity Homes

  • The media mogul is worth $3.1 billion.
  • She has donated $100,000 to the Time’s Up fund.
  • She has donated $1 million to the N Street Village nonprofit, dedicated to helping transform the lives of homeless and other low-income women.
  • She has donated $13 million to the Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. (and serves as a member of the museum council).
  • She has spent over $140 million over the past 10 years to the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, a school for underprivileged girls from eighth to 12th grade, also helping with the students’ living expenses, braces, uniforms and more.
  • And she’s spent over $100 million on the seven estates she currently owns.

Yes, you read that right: Winfrey owns seven homes (that we know of — possibly more), but are you really that surprised? For someone worth billions of dollars, you’d better believe she has several multimillion-dollar homes scattered across the country.

The number would have been nine had she not have sold her 9,625-square-foot Windy City home, the one she owned from 1985 to 2015, for a whopping $4.625 million or her 4,806-square-foot penthouse in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2008 for $1.8 million.

But let’s talk more about the houses Oprah Winfrey does own — that’s what we really care about here. We’ll start with the home she and partner Stedman spend the most time in: her 23,000-square-foot Montecito, California mansion…

A version of this post was originally published July 2018. 

  • Montecito Home

    Winfrey purchased this 23,000-square-foot home for a whopping $50 million back in 2001. It’s located about 6 miles from downtown Santa Barbara. After changing the decor to meet her exquisite taste, Winfrey knows the home is downright gorgeous, inside and out.”I knew my house was impressive,” Winfrey wrote in her magazine in 2013. “I mean, just about every guest I ever invited for dinner told me so as they perched on the edge of the opulent sofa, trying not to get fingerprints on anything. I owned a stately home and I poured my heart and soul into making it perfect.”

    In 2016, Oprah purchased a 23-acre horse farm estate for nearly $29 million at auction. “It’s about three-quarters of a mile from the beach and up against the mountains, right in the heart of Montecito, where a lot of celebrities live,” said Marty Rogers of Sage Auctions, who auctioned the property.

    The “once in a lifetime” property is located between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean and hadn’t been on the market for over 30 years when Winfrey purchased it.

    Two homes in Montecito clearly isn’t adequate for Oprah WInfrey. Which is why she bought Jeff Bridges’ former home that sits right inbetween her $50 million Montecito home and her Seamair farm estate in November 2019.

    Oprah purchased the home from Bridges for a reported $6. 85 million. The home sits on a four-acre lot which houses a stucco-clad main house, guesthouse, pool house, carriage house and gated equestrian facility with stables and a tack room.

    The five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom home sits on about 3.25 acres on the side of Mountain Village.

    We’ve reached the final home: her estate in Maui.
    Oprah purchased 163 acres of property, which sits on the slopes of Mount Haleakala. While it’s unclear how much she spent on the estate, an adjacent property went up for sale in 2016 for $32 million.  

    The 21st-century farmhouse has a wraparound porch with ocean views, a country-style chef’s kitchen, a terrace off the master bedroom and dining space for six.

    “She already has a large home in Santa Barbara—this seems to go back to something real and personal,” Winfrey’s decorator, Ellie Cullman, told O magazine. “It’s a great house for her and two or three friends.”

In the documentary Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex claims that Oprah Winfrey was surprised by the size of Nottingham Cottage. Writes about it People .

The first home in the UK for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was Nottingham Cottage, which is located on the territory of Kensington Palace in London.

“Oprah came in for tea, didn’t she?” the Duke of Sussex asked his wife in the fourth episode of the film. To this, Markle answered in the affirmative. “And when she came in, she sat down and said, ‘No one will ever believe this!’ Prince Harry shared, hinting at the small size of the house.

According to Meghan Markle, Nottingham Cottage was the tiny building where Prince Harry kept banging his head against the low ceilings.

“We lived on the palace grounds, yes,” Megan added. — Kensington Palace sounds very regal, of course it is, it has the word “palace” in the name, but Nottingham Cottage was a small [house]. It stands on a slight slope.”

Meghan and Harry lived in Nottingham Cottage until spring 2019. They then moved to Frogmore Cottage at Windsor Castle in connection with the birth of their first child, son Archie Harrison.

Previously, Gazeta.Ru reported that in the film Harry and Megan, for the first time, they showed a photo from the Duchess’s baby shower.

Oprah Winfrey: biography

Childhood

Oprah’s real name is Orpa. She was named after the biblical character Orpa. But no one ever called the girl Orpa like that. There are two versions according to which Orpa became Oprah. According to the first, neither parents nor friends could pronounce such a strange name, and it was decided to change it even in the birth certificate.
And the second version says that the midwife, filling out the documents at the maternity hospital, simply mixed up or misunderstood and entered the name Oprah in the child’s documents.

The childhood of the famous TV presenter was very difficult. Her parents, mother a maid and father a miner, never married. When Oprah was born, her father was in the army, and the mother moved north with the birth of her daughter, where Winfrey lived for the first six years with her grandmother. Her grandmother took her to church every Sunday, and the locals even gave Oprah the title of “preacher” because she was the best at reciting chapters from the Bible. Such obedience was achieved by cruel methods: if a girl behaved badly or did not do what her grandmother punishes, then she was often beaten with a cane.

At the age of six, Oprah moved with her mother to the old ghetto area of ​​Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Oprah Winfrey said that when she was 9 years old, she was often molested and bullied by her brothers. On one of her shows, Oprah Winfrey told how her cousin raped her at the age of nine, and in return bought her ice cream.

Despite all the nightmares of her life, Oprah managed to learn to read and write on her own and at the age of 12 began to study at school.

As a teenager, Oprah still ran away from home. When she was 14, she became pregnant and gave birth to a child who died shortly after birth. At this time, Oprah was in a shelter for difficult teenagers. Mother sent Oprah to her father in Nashville, Tennessee.

The father turned out to be quite strict, but it did the girl good. Thanks to him, Oprah Winfrey studied harder, won the eloquence competition, thanks to which she became a student at the University of Tennessee, where she studied public relations.

Star Trek

At 17, Oprah became the youngest local media reporter and Nashville’s first black female television reporter. Her popularity came after she became one of the hosts of the morning talk show Baltimore Speaks.

In 1986, Oprah designed, conceived and created her own show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which was broadcast from Chicago in 64 countries. Thanks to this show, she became not only a world famous TV presenter, but also one of the richest women, according to Forbes. By the way, Oprah Winfrey’s height is 169see

Oprah Winfrey: personal life

Oprah Winfrey has been living with her civil husband Steadman Graham for about 20 years.
Unfortunately, after the death of her first child, Oprah cannot have any more children. But the actress does not lose heart and believes that the girls from Africa’s Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, which she created, were sent to her in order to become daughters.

Winfrey herself speaks of all this as follows: “I never had children and did not think to have. Now I have 152 daughters, I expect to have 75 more next year. It’s like a kind of pregnancy. I told their grandmothers, mothers, family members (some girls lost their families): “Your daughters are now my daughters, and I promise you to take care of them.”

Oprah’s future plans are to live near her girls when she retires. Winfrey plans to live in the campus she created at the university.
