Oprah Winfrey is still really rich

oprah-billionaire.jpgAround this time every year, uber-celebrities and computer programmers around the world wake up at the crack of dawn, run out to the mailbox, and tear the cellophane from their latest Forbes with the enthusasim of a young child on Christmas morning. You see, this is when the business magazine releases its annual list of the world’s billionaires.

And you know it must have been quite the blow to Oprah’s confidence when she found herself ranked a pedestrian 562 of 793 total billionaires. Be wary, Earth. Oprah’s on the war path. And she won’t let you get in her way. Other notables on the list include:

Bill Gates, number uno
Richard Branson and Steven Spielberg, tied at 245
Donald Trump, 278
Ted Turner, 382

Nowhere on the list: Scott Stapp

    Huh. I don’t what the heck is giving you that impression, but you’re utterly and completely mistaken. For post #39, I was being something called ‘sarcastic’. That’s something I do quite frequently, as does just about everyone else who posts on this site and I was doing it in response to the previous poster who said they’d rather look at Oprah than ‘some shitty overhyped “actor”‘, which was in direct response to me posting the link to the photos of Jake Gyllenhaal. As for post #45, let me break it down for you. This site is basically for people who want to make fun of celebrities for various reasons. These reasons include, but are not limited to, the following: being slutty, stupid, bitchy, insane, ungrateful, dishonest, drug-addicted, or just plain annoying. It annoys me when people who know what this site is about comment on a thread by saying “Oh, you’re just jealous, that’s why you’re being so mean, blah, blahdee, blah”. In this thread, that’s not even remotely applicable, because the thread was just stating a fact that was reported by Forbes magazine. I was also responding to the fact that the same poster implied that Oprah has just done infinite amounts of good for this country, which is not the case. As I said, she’s not a bad person, but she’s not a damn one-woman fix-it crew either. If you don’t like the fact that I was sarcastic in one instance and clarifying some facts in another instance, I guess that sucks for you. I’m explaining myself because I sincerely feel that I wasn’t being ‘confrontational’, I was being funny. If you don’t get my brand of humor, well, that’s fine. However, just because you didn’t get it, doesn’t make me mentally ill. Do you realize that YOUR post came off as being ‘confrontational’ and ‘causing trouble’? Especially considering that none of what I said even remotely had anything to do with you, since I didn’t know you existed till about a minute and a half ago? Ah, the irony.

    Lauging @ post #50.

    I think the irony is that post #50 is right. And that’s not even an irony; she’s just dead-on with the observation. And, no, I am not being confrontational here. Just merely an observation.

    That’s “laughing,” rather.

    Well, I think the irony is that you’re making an observation, yet you’re not very observant. Check out the Nicole Richie thread right after this one, look at paige’s post (#58) and you’ll see that it’s just someone trying to start shit with various posters.

    Perhaps you have heard of the Loverboy song “Working for the Weekend”? That does not apply here…

    wow, #50, i am at a lose for words. its great that you obviously dedicate a lot of your time to posting useless diarreah on here. Please proceed to post more pictures of your loverboy actor so I can click on it again and thank god everytime that I have subjected myself to watching Jarhead.

    sorry that was directed at #51, that long-brown ‘log’-post

  9. BelindaB

    yeah #51 seems to have the runs quite too often here

    always criticizing others while posting utter nonsense, self-serving posts – with the mental capacity of someone truly retarded

    oh oh tomorrow there will be lots of new stories for you to post your crap comments on – I can spot your dim-witted posts a mile away

    “at a lose for words” are you? Well, that’s a predicament.

    #59

    Damn. I thought I told you to do your homework!

    “Do you realize that your posts always come off with a hint that you are mentally ill?”

    Aren’t we all a bit? We all go a little mad sometimes…:) You can’t go through this world without having a hint of mental illness, I blame iPods.

    Exactly. It’s the electromagnetic field.

  13. I heard that Oprah Ate Rikki Lake. “Yes, thats right, I did it! I made a FAT Joke at Opra’s expense! Damn, I am origional! Nobody has ever done that before!” I must be jealous!!!

    I just put up all the criticisms up there to save the “You just hate Oprah because you are “Racist, Jealous, a jerk etc…” crowd time. But I really do think she ate Rikki.

  14. I don’t think she should be dissapointed. That is no small feat, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’ll be up in that list soon. Mark my words.

  15. I don’t think she should be dissapointed. That is no small feat, but I’ll tell you one thing. I’ll be up in that list soon. Mark my words.
