How Rich is she?

Well she tops the list of wealthiest women in entertainment!

Oprah Winfrey tops Forbes magazine's first-ever list of the 20 Richest Women in Entertainment.

Forbes figures that Winfrey has made $1.5 billion in her career.

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling is next with $1 billion, and Martha Stewart is third with $638 million.

Madonna ranks fourth with $325 million, followed by Celine Dion, who's made an estimated $250 million.

Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston round out the top ten.

And we can all feel good that she uses her wealth for great things...on her show yesterday she showed a clip of her last day in South Africa where the girls from the school were singing a chant saying "We will do our best...We will do our Very Best!" I started welling up...That's just amazing!

Also, she announced that on on February 26 ABC will air a special primetime documentary on The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls–South Africa.
