EARLY LIFE To begin with, Oprah Winfrey has faced difficulty throughout her life. She had a rough childhood, including being raped at the age of nine. When she was born into a poor home, her mother claimed to be a single adolescent with insufficient finances to cover her basic necessities, such as food and clothing. Her mother worked as a housemaid, while her father worked as a barber before going into the coal mining business. PROFESSIONAL LIFE After moving to Vernon with her father, she attended the State University of Tennessee and began working at a radio station, co-anchoring an evening local news programme. Her potential was so high that in a short period, a third-grade Chicago talk show she hosted became the most popular. She also presented her own version of Dialing for Dollars in her hometown. SUCCESS

Her potential was so great that a third-grade Chicago chat show she hosted became the most popular in a short period of time. Her other early accomplishments included winning a beauty competition when she was just 17 years old.
Oprah Winfrey attributes her desire to pursue a profession in public speaking to her grandmother. When she became the first black female and youngest anchor at the local news channel, her remarkable interviewing and vocal capabilities were emphasized.

Forbes Magazine named Oprah Winfrey the richest African American who has been a billionaire for three decades. In 2008, Business Week magazine named her the greatest philanthropist among African-Americans.
