What Will Jeff Basos Do With All This Money?
The final sponsor for the episode is wilson sensine, the official legal sponsor of season six. In this one, were grading how good of a use of sixteen million dollars was it for oper to buy out the rights to a show like harpo. We can't decide which until a transaction like we just talked about happened. And once that happens, then we can say like, ok, 16 million dollars back in nineteen eighty eight, i think it was right....
We close out Season 6 with the story of perhaps the single most successful media entrepreneur of all-time: Oprah Winfrey, and her juggernaut conglomerate Harpo Studios. Born to a poor single mother in the segregated 1950's deep south, Oprah's rise from terrible adversity to wealthiest Black woman in the world ranks among the very greatest American success stories. And oh yeah — along the way she single-handedly created the entire influencer economy, rewrote the blueprint of a modern power broker, and set the world record for most cars given away at one time (276). Sit back, listen and get ready to live your best life.
