She is down a whopping $125m on last year but Oprah Winfrey still tops Forbes’ list of highest paid celebities.
The media mogul earned an estimated $165 million between May 2011 and May 2012, down from $290 million a year earlier. Next year, Forbes said, it won’t be including any of Winfrey’s syndication money, meaning she could lose her No. 1 spot.

Just curious….Oprah is still making TV…why do we not see any of it…?!?
She’s got eyes like Fremantle coach Ross Lyon after the Richmond AFL game.
