There’s no denying that bothOprah WinfreyandEllen DeGeneresare successful women.
Come to think of it, the word “successful” might be an understatement.
Winfrey and DeGeneres are two of the most beloved talk show hosts in America (viaReviews.org).
“Thanks to all of my fans for supporting me, for sticking by me,” DeGeneres said.
“I cannot tell you how grateful I am and what this means to me.
It’s more than I can possibly tell you.
Especially right now.”
Winfrey also owns her own magazine titledO, The Oprah Magazine,and has published a number of books.
Even so, $370 million isn’t just small potatoes.
Like Winfrey, DeGeneres is aself-made womanwho’s battled ups and downs throughout her career (viaInsider).
Shortly after coming out on her sitcomEllen, DeGeneres said she stopped receiving work.
No one would touch me.
I had no agent, no possibility of a job, I had nothing."
“To start over at 45.
Nobody starts over in this business at 45, much less a woman.
I’m really grateful that I had that experience and it made me a stronger person.”
