Oprah Talks Buying ‘Weight Watchers’ and Making $45 Million in One Day on ‘Ellen’

Oprah Winfrey stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show and spilled the details on her recent Weight Watchers purchase.Initially, Mama O says she was hesitant to invest in the company because she needed to actually try the program first. ‘Since August 12th I have lost 15 pounds,’ said Oprah. ‘But I am excited about Weight Watchers being able to bring a healthier more holistic approach for everybody.’

Ellen asked why Oprah didn’t tell her to invest so she could make a little money. Oprah said it was because she was playing the ‘stay out of jail’ card!
Ellen then told the audience how Oprah managed to make $45 million in one day thanks to her investment.

‘So the stocks were trading at $6 a share she buys what like $40,000,000 you put in. In one day she made $45 million it doubled by the end of the day. Now had she made one phone call to me. I couldn’t have put $40 million in but I could have put a little bit of money in.’
‘No but we want to stay out of jail so,’ Oprah said.
