Oprah Gail Winfrey (She has OG in her name! Coincidence? I think not) is an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and philanthropist. We look up to Oprah cuz she made it to the top despite the odds. She achieved top influencer status by pure grit and determination, hard work and unstoppable ambition. Her talk show was the highest-rated television program of its kind in history of TV talk shows, and ran in national syndication for 25 years! Dubbed the "Queen of All Media," she was the richest African-American of the 20th century, and was once the world's only black billionaire, and the greatest black philanthropist in U.S. history. By 2007, she was sometimes ranked as the most influential woman in the world. Thats what I call "epic clout".
