Oprah Winfrey is shocked after fan says $100 is too much to spend on a Christmas gift

A fan asked Oprah Winfrey for inspiration for a Christmas gift and was shocked when they said $100 was too much to spend on a gift.

The fan told the talk show host, 68, who is worth a whopping $2.5 billion, that his mother wasn’t doing well and wanted something to cheer her up over the festive season.

She replied, ‘A wonderful thing is that jewelry box I had in Favorite Things. A beautiful red jewelry box with a small…’

However, the boy intervened and said, ‘That’s too expensive for me.’

The talk show host was visibly surprised by her response, assuring her that it’s “like $100.”

However, she said it required a lower budget and a more sentimental gift, meaning she had to find an alternative on the spot.

Oprah responded, “You make a list of your top ten reasons you love her, and you make a beautiful card, and it’s your top ten list.”

The now-viral clip, which has amassed more than 859,000 views on TikTok, has left social media users divided.

Some were angered by the clip, including one person who hinted that Oprah was out of touch, writing: “She said ‘oh poor thing? I have a better present for you’.”

Another agreed, writing: “A billionaire doesn’t understand what it’s like for the rest of us.”

Meanwhile, a third person said: ‘I was SURPRISED that $100 was too expensive. “Do they even make things that cost less than $100?”

However, others were more supportive of Oprah and how she handled the situation.

One person wrote: “I think Oprah handled this and responded very well.”

Another added: “Your second suggestion was incredibly thoughtful.”

Meanwhile, a third person said: ‘Bless his heart. she was trying to help. I love both of her suggestions.

‘There was no judgment in his tone or reaction. I love the sentimental gift idea from him.

Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they invited Oprah Winfrey to tea at their cottage at Kensington Palace, with the TV mogul stunned by the “small” size of the residence.

Speaking in episode five of their explosive Netflix docuseries, the Sussexes have opened up about their life at Nottingham Cottage, where they lived in the months after their May 2018 wedding, insisting that while the house was “on palace grounds “, they were by no means ‘living in a palace’ as many assumed.

According to Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, their feelings about the “little” house were cemented when Oprah, 68, joined them “for tea”, with the duke revealing that the TV presenter she exclaimed, ‘No one would believe it! ‘ when she herself saw the property.

This comes after Oprah’s lavish lifestyle was revealed. Oprah is one of the richest self-made women in America, and she reportedly earns $300 million per year and owns $127 million in real estate.

A recent post showed Oprah and her Thanksgiving guests seated around an impressive 18-person table in the dining room of her 23,000-square-foot California mansion, which was awash with flowers and decadent candles.

Other posts show Oprah drinking wine on her spacious porch, enjoying movies in her home theater and getting her nails done.

One video even shows her sorting through her piles of designer clothes in a huge walk-in closet, while others give followers a peek inside her extravagant abode.

Their main base is a sprawling Georgian-style mansion in Montecito, which is a stone’s throw from the $14.65 million home where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet.

He first bought the luxurious home in 2001 for $52 million, and over the years he continued to expand the property by buying many of the neighboring properties.

He now owns a whopping 80 acres in the area, with an estimated value of around $90 million, and has dubbed the property The Promised Land.

Oprah also shelled out millions more on the stunning home redesign in 2010, after admitting the ‘big’ house didn’t feel ‘true to itself’.

She added that while it was “picture perfect”, it was “kind of impersonal”, and enlisted designer Rose Tarlow to come and help her.

She had a fountain ‘the size of a lake’, which ‘shoots water into the sky’, she added to her garden, and planted a grove of ‘mature oaks’, according to Fashion.

She also had an entire second home built “for the sole purpose of reading the New York Times in the morning while drinking her tea,” an open-air stone structure she calls the “teahouse.”

The mansion also features six bedrooms, 14 bathrooms, 10 fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, a spacious dining room, and numerous living spaces.

Another image shared by Oprah in October showed her posing with her personal hairstylist, Nicole Mangrum, whom she called “sacred,” crediting her for making her locks “strong, resilient, and determined.”

And in the caption of a snapshot posted in January, the 68-year-old shared a tribute to private chef Zairah Mae Molina, who had baked a “delicious pineapple coconut drenched cake” for her birthday. In the past, she has shared many other videos of personal chefs preparing food for her at her home.

In addition to having her own staff, another perk of being Oprah Winfrey is that she can go on lavish vacations whenever she wants, thanks to the $75 million private plane she bought in 2015.

He previously revealed that he decided to buy the Gulfstream G650 after a fan approached him at Chicago’s O’Hare airport and asked for a hug.
