Is Oprah Leaving Millions to Her Dogs?

September 14, 2007 | Star Sightings

Is Oprah Winfrey’s wealth going to the dogs?

The billionaire media mogul is reportedly leaving $30 million to her four beloved canines.

A new report says Oprah, 53, has set up a trust fund for her pooches should anything happen to her.

She reportedly has two Cocker Spaniels and two Golden Retrievers.

The idea of billionaires leaving a share of their wealth to their beloved dogs isn't extraordinary: real estate mogul Leona Helmsley left $12 million to her Maltese, Trouble, when she passed away last month.

But Oprah's reps say today there's no truth to the reports.

May that fat pig rot in hell.

I can’t believe how many posted comments there are against Oprah here. THE STORY SAID THAT HER REPS DENIED THAT THIS STORY IS TRUE!!!! I could see bashing her if her reps confirmed the story but, come on people!

Oprah has plenty of friends who would take care of her dogs if anything happened to her. Her dogs would be well tended and she knows it. She much to smart to do anything as ridiculous as leave a fortune to her dogs.

Her reps say it’s not true but you reported it anyway? Why? Hosts of Extra do cleansing ritual dancing with live Komodo Dragons drinking the urine of newborn infants. Their reps deny it.

It’s simple.

Dogs are animals and super-rich people are stupid.

NEXT!

Uh…doesn’t anyone realize that Oprah, with all of her business ventures, has a whole lot more than 30 million?

Also, it’s doubtful that those dogs could burn through 30 million in their lifetimes. Even if this “report” were true, the bulk of that would probably end up going where the rest would. Where that goes, obviously the “report” didn’t think that was sexy enough to report on.

It’s true. The fact that Oprah hasn’t asked for a retraction from Extra or sued Extra for libel indicates that it’s true, because the sure fire defense for libel is truth.

Oh please! Like Oprah hasn’t done enough for the needy!! When you have done 1/1000 of what Oprah has done to help people the feel free to moan about what she does with her money. Until then, STFU!

With all the children that are in need of health care or people for that matter if you have 30 millions to leave for the love of God please leave it to make a difference for human life.

At one time, Oprah had two cocker spaniels and eight Golden Retrievers, which lived on her farm, and a rescued mutt.

Didn’t you just say there are no facts to back this story up?

looloo

People will believe anything. How would the details of Oprah’s will be leaked? She has loyal advisors and its locked away somewhere. This is a rediculous story.

People, READ the story! Oprah DENIED it. And if you look at the story, there are NO sources. It doesn’t say someone within the Oprah camp. It doesn’t say sources with close knowledge. It doesn’t say ANYTHING about the source. It simply says, “a new report says.” People, wise up. You’re all probably the same ones who believed Iraq had WMDs or had something to do with 9/11. Ugh.

People should always come before dogs.Even if you have helped some people..what about the rest? When one of my dogs die I just bury it and live on..Family and kids are always top rated in my book!!!!

Everyone is entitled to care for those they love. Americans love their pets.
Why else would there be entire aisles for pet food in the supermarket?
The real scandal is that she’s not ashamed to admit it.
