Oprah gives magazine staff $10,000, iPad each

Gift is a thank you for hard work, to celebrate O's 10th anniversary.

Billionaire media mogul Oprah Winfrey has given staff at her magazine $10,000 each and an Apple iPad, a spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

"As a thank you for their hard work and dedication, Oprah Winfrey surprised the staff of O, The Oprah Magazine with an Apple iPad and a check for $10,000, to commemorate the magazine's 10th anniversary," a magazine spokeswoman said.

The total number of staff members who received the gifts was not made immediately available.

The popular U.S. television talk show host plans to end "The Oprah Winfrey Show" in 2011 after 25 years to set up her own cable TV network.

The top-rated daytime show is broadcast from Chicago on ABC television stations across the United States and in more than 140 countries. It has helped Winfrey amass a fortune estimated by Forbes magazine at $2.3 billion.

wow... I want a boss like her.

 

Meeee toooo. I just get a swift kick in the ass as a reward

 

That's a really nice gesture, I hope the lackeys got the bonus as well as the big wigs.

 

I think they do, I remember seeing somewhere once about her sending all her staff to hawaii or something for a holiday and even the shit-kickers were invited Bet it's cut throat to get a job working for Oprah!

 

I wouldn't expect anything less from her.


Kudos, Oprah.

 

Me too.

 

Must be nice...

 

Well I'd agree to be the womans shoe shiner for fringe benefits like she's giving out.
