Oprah Winfrey rocked an all-white ensemble as media and tech giants gathered for a conference dubbed “Summer Camp for Billionaires” in Idaho.
Allen & Co’s annual meeting brings together leading names in industry from all over the world.

She was seen wearing a white sweater, casual jeans, a pair of white sneakers and a shoulder bag with minimal jewelry.
The agenda and topics of the talks are kept secret, allowing top brass some privacy as they tour the resort, gossip about the industry and sometimes close deals worth billions of dollars.

The conference began in 1982 and in the early days, founder Herbert Allen, who co-founded Allen & Company with his brother Charles, had to beg guests to come.
But now the Sun Valley conference has built a reputation as the venue for high-profile business deals, or at least the place where the conversations that lead to them take place.
Previous deals originating in Sun Valley include Disney’s purchase of Capital Cities/ABC in 1995, Comcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal in 2009, Verizon’s purchase of AOL in 2015, and Jeff Bezos’ purchase of The Washington Post in 2013.
Other famous faces who have attended the business outing over the years include Mark Zuckerberg, McDonald’s CEO Steve Easterbrook and PayPal CEO Dan Schulman.
