Billionaire Oprah Winfrey is planning a tour to help you with your life.
The Oprah Winfrey experience is coming to an arena near you.
Starting in September, Winfrey will set out on an eight-city Oprah’s The Life You Want Weekend tour. The plan: pack 18,000-seat arenas for a two-day experience featuring a keynote by Winfrey, who will share her personal story and advice on Friday night, and group activities and speakers picked by her on Saturday. Among those signed to participate: Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, pastor Rob Bell, OWN star Iyanla Vanzant and, in certain cities, guru Deepak Chopra.
It’s all about helping you live the life you want:
Winfrey tells THR a domestic tour has been atop her “bucket list” since she finished a speaking circuit in Canada in early 2013. Although Life You Want will be much larger in scale, her message remains the same. “It’s about living the life you want, because a great percentage of the population is living a life that their mother wanted, that their husband wanted, that they thought or heard they wanted,” says Winfrey, adding that she will use the platform to push themes of “empowerment, resilience and authenticity.”
Tickets begin at $99 and a VIP “Meet and Greet” will cost you $999. Oprah says that this has been on her “bucket list” for some time, but it appears to represent one more avenue to extract capital from her addle-brained fans.
Life You Want is being staged in partnership with Harpo Studios, O, The Oprah Magazine, cable network OWN and her agency, WME, which recently launched a live events division. (The latter, a way to capitalize on another potential revenue stream in a fractured media environment, also is behind other events, including Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski’s Thrive: A Third Metric Live and Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Fun Fearless Career Weekend.) Toyota and Olay will serve as sponsors. Although the different Winfrey media outlets likely will use tour content, fellow OWN president Erik Logan says they haven’t yet determined how.
This is precisely what makes liberals, especially wealthy liberals, so loathsome. A billionaire does not need any more money. A billionaire can afford to offer you advice for free. What Winfrey is doing is so typical of hypocritical liberals. This is all about helping you- for a chunk of change. Where’s the “spreading it around” that liberals and her buddy Obama are always blathering about? The bottom line is always the same. It’s about spreading YOUR money around and not theirs.
If you have $1000 to squander on meeting Oprah, then you already have the life you want.

DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.

Dead on Bill.
@Redteam: Rubio is eligible. I’ve had Fla. to win from the get go.
When I say “the token” I mean the few–like the token gay Repubs (log cabin)
“Dead voters”–“voter fraud” yada yada. Scoreboard

@rich wheeler:
His parents were Cubans when he was born. That gave him dual citizenship, which means he is a citizen by law, not naturally
@Redteam: Your “naturally” ain’t natural OR logical RT.
@rich wheeler:
It seems clear to me that you don’t know what the term, as used in the US Constitution means. Natural born means that no law is necessary to make you a citizen. If a person is born to two parents that are Cuban citizens, but he is born within the US, then there is a law that says that under those circumstances, he is a citizen. But, that is a ‘by law’ citizen, not a natural born one. If he is born in the US and both his parents are citizens of the US, then no law applies. He is ‘natural born’. I guess I don’t understand why so many people don’t care if the person that is voted into the leadership job of the free world gives a damn if he is qualified (by experience) or eligible, by Constitution, for the job. I’ll bet that many of those folks, say if they’re a union member, would care if the president of the company they are working for assumed the role as president of their union. Or, if they attend a church, would care if a multiple convicted felon for child abuse usurped the role as pastor of their church. It’s equivalent, but even more serious. But no one cares while he does everything he can to destroy the military services and the United States. No more Tomahawk missiles, no more Hellfire missiles.
Redteam
yes, no one care if he”s doing an offence,THE FRAMER DID NOT THINK IT WAS NEEDED, they trusted the people to do it,
to make a law to just remove who”s doing the first offence,
as quick as possible to remove the burden on the citizens,
and protect AMERICANS AND THEIR TREASURES WHICH THE MILITARY ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS, AND CUTTING THE WEAPONERIES WHICH ARE VERY COSTLY,
NOW THE DOMAINE OF THE ENTERNET, THE SPACE SHIP AND ASTRONAUT TRAINING,
THE FREEDOM OF AMERICANS, HE SAID DON’T DESERVE,
THE SPENDING SPREE WHICH IS PASS 17 TRILLIONS,THE
TRILLION COST OF OBAMACARE MONSTER, THE FREE ENTRY OF MORE THAN 11 MILLION ILEGALS IN OPEN BORDERS,
just like removing a criminal first offence,
this here is not being removed after multiple offences
why is that? the whole world want to know, they don’t pay attention to other countries,
only to AMERICA, BECAUSE SHE IS EXCEPTIONALIST, AND CANNOT TOLERATE TO HAVE ONE HURTING THE PEOPLE, WITH AN ARROGANCE UNSEEN BEFORE, AND A DEATH WISH ON AMERICA BEST VALUES, AND A CUTTING THE MILITARY MIGHT,
AND GIVING AWAY THE DOMAINE OF THE INTERNET WHICH
BELONG TO AMERICA, THAT’S HOW ARROGANT HE IS,
HE DID NOT EVEN ASK THE PEOPLE,
HE DECIDE BY HIMSELF, HE DOESN’T HAVE THE BRAIN TO DECIDE ALONE, BECAUSE HE ALWAYS MAKE WRONG DECISIONS
and never taken accountable for his mistakes,
his allegiance is not TO AMERICA,
Is Oprah doing this tour as a trial balloon for whether or not she ought to run for president?
Some whispers are starting in this direction.
