Oprah Winfrey may have ended her syndicated talk show but make no mistake … she is still pulling in more money than any of her peers, as evidenced by her spot at the top of Forbes Highest Paid Celebrity list.
Her empire includes Harpo Productions, Dr. Phil, Rachael Ray and The Dr. Oz Show. There is also her magazine, O, a satellite radio station and last but certainly not least, her cable network OWN that expects to start turning a profit in 2013.
Forbes estimates that Oprah earned $165 million between May 2011 and May 2012.
Who else made this prestigious list? ‘Transformers’ director Michael Bay earned $160 million, TV & Film kingpin Steven Spielberg earned $130 million, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides’ producer Jerry Bruckheimer earned $115 million, and music producer Dr. Dre pulled in $110 million.
