How Oprah Winfrey became successful

Oprah Winfrey is one of the richest, if not richest,
people in showbiz today. Oprah didn’t
always have it easy – she was abused by
her uncle, family friend and cousin when
she was just 9 years old.
The queen of all media ran away from
home at a tender age. She fell pregnant
and gave birth to a baby boy (who shortly
died after) at age 14.
Despite the odds stacked against her, she
managed to turn her life around and
become who and what she is today.
