In an age of harsh economic conditions, the out of site salaries of celebrities and sports figures defies description. $50 million blows me away. Worried? No. Her influence is waning.

I know Oprah does a lot of charitable things. She really does. But I think for 50 mil she could take a giant chunk out of poverty. How much does it cost to provide clean water all over the world? Seriously? How many shoes could she buy for the needy? Why does 1 woman with no kids need a 9 bedroom home? 100 cars -- well, I sort of get that since she seems to throw some humongous parties and media events. She needs the parking. But the bedrooms? I just wish God would give me or someone who is a generous Christian 50 mil. I'll bet I could spend it better. Maybe?<BR/><BR/>I doubt M.Obama has anything to worry about. She's far more attractive than Oprah AND she's the mother of the Prez's children.<BR/><BR/>HeidiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
