Since her Chicago TV debut in 1983, Oprah Winfrey has captivated the public's attention with her self-help guru status and Queen of All Media title. Over the past three decades, she has illuminated social issues, inspired fans to live their best lives, and revolutionized her corner of the entertainment industry. Despite her undeniable entrepreneurial prowess and business acumen, Winfrey's unparalleled influence and celebrity often overshadow her remarkable achievements. While she may not label herself a businesswoman, her ever-expanding media empire and record-breaking multibillion-dollar fortune speak volumes.

Oprah Winfrey: In Her Own Words offers a rare glimpse into the wisdom and thought processes of this extraordinary woman. O: The Oprah Magazine, now in its 22nd year of publication, has been hailed as the most successful startup in the industry. Initially, the magazine grew into a highly profitable addition to the Hearst portfolio, amassing significant ad sales and a paid circulation larger than industry giants like Vogue and Martha Stewart Living. Over the years, Oprah's media holdings and interests expanded to include an award-winning movie production studio, a satellite radio channel, the cable-TV company Oxygen Media, and the burgeoning OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network.

Few entrepreneurs have been as astute as Oprah in leveraging her resources over her decades-long career. Her key asset, cultivated over the years, is her brand, which she carefully controls through strategic partnerships and endorsement deals, defying convention. At the beginning of her career, Oprah made a bold decision to start her own company.
