Women Too Do Make Real Money

Money-making does not depend on your gender. Statistics indicate that there are more male millionaires than females. That is hardly surprising as it is indicative of a male-dominant world. Females themselves have also held their own in wealth-creation and accumulation. 

Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954 in the backwoods of a Mississippi little known town of Kosciusko USA to an unmarried teen-age mother.  She resolved early in life to work hard and be successful. This mindset lured her into show business. This is how she became a television talk-show host that has earned her fame and wealth. Ms. Winfrey worked hard and became the head of many companies under her HARPO Inc. which employed many people, both male and female. She at some stage became arguably the most popular talk-show host in the world. By 1993, she was reported to be earning about $98 million dollars per year. Not bad for a little black girl born into abject poverty in a race-tainted United States in the fifties.

These days, you can see multi-millionaire female stars like the Kardashians, Williams sisters, Jennifer Lopez and many others whose careers cut across Talk-show hosting, Sports, Music, Business and many other fields of human endeavor. Women are really making money in this age and time and that is very good for humanity.
