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.
