Dr. Phil supposedly earned $80 million a year from his show and Dr. Oz made $20 million from his, so it seems pretty plausible to me that the woman who owns the show that made them famous AND owns the production company that produced their shows and her own show wasn't making at least that much each year. It's not hard to become a billionaire earning $100+ million a year.
So you believe she actually made it through her business. You are ignoring the fact that owning a business is the perfect way to launder dirty money.
A lot of the small businesses in the border states never sell a thing, but they make lots of money. I have a friend in the drug enforcement section of the PD that told me they were always watching the used car lots, and tire stores here. They made the owners rich yet the cars never moved, and no tires went out the door. The only difference between the small time drug money laundering businesses, and the big time trafficking business is the scale and volume of money.
A TV production company that produced a single syndicated show for its first decade would be a terrible way to launder money. Such a production company will get the bulk of its revenue from one single syndication company with the syndication rights, which for Oprah was King World who also did Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune and was later purchased by CBS. That syndication company will have revenue from the TV network that wants to run the show.
The production company might also earn some sponsorship revenue for placement and mention of certain company's products or services, like Target, so when Oprah gave gift cards away to people they'd be Target ones. If air travel was involved in a segment it would American (or whatever airline was a sponsor).
Since it's a nationally syndicated show anyone that watches TV and shops is going to recognize the brands and it's generally pretty easy to recognize the sponsorship (Oprah does a show and gives everyone in the audience a car, that's the sponsorship)..
And what kind of expenses does a TV production company have? Production equipment, studio space, staff/talent, and travel related costs. It's going to be real hard to fake how much it cost to fly Gail King to Africa for a segment or how much money you're spending on salary because you're going to have to report those expenses to 1099 contractors or on W2's for employees.
But also just knowing what other popular TV hosts made you can validate this as well. I saw Leno and Letterman's net worths estimated at $400 and $450 million, which makes sense given Leno was earning $20 to $30 million per year for 22 years of The Tonight Show. .So I don't know why you'd be surprised that Oprah, who had the the #1 daytime TV show since it started in 1986 and which ran for 25 seasons AND she also owned the production company behind it for 22 of those years is a billionaire.
Her production company also did Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Nate Berkus, and Rachel Ray. Dr. Oz reportedly earned $20 million a year, Dr. Phil $80 million, and Rachel Ray was $25 million, so it seems reasonable the people producing the show earned at least as much as the hosts, so that's another $125 million a year and each of those shows ran for over a decade, with Dr. Phil going over 20 years and Rachel Ray going over 15. Not hard to be a billionaire when that kind of money is floating around yearly.
Keep on shilling for Opie. No one is believing you. You seem very vested in proving she is innocent.
How does being able to legitimately become a billionaire hosting and producing the top rated daytime show for over two decades mean she's innocent of anything? Harvey Weinstein was a shitbag despite legitimately earning his money. Maybe she bought sex trafficked kids, maybe she became a dealer of the crack she used to us, I don't know, but I'm not going to pretend the only way she could be that rich was selling sex trafficked people.
If you need further proof why this is possible, in 1999 King World, Oprah's syndicator, was acquired by CBS for $2.5 billion. Oprah's shares of King World would convert to CBS stock and she'd own about 0.5% of CBS afterward. CBS sold later that year to Viacom for $35.6 billion, so Oprah makes about $175 million just from that. That article mentions about 45% of King World's $210 million yearly cash flow was Oprah's show.
