Ellen DeGeneres: ‘Oprah’s Giving me Her Money’
ELLEN DeGeneres joked that Oprah Winfrey will give her “all of her money” when she ends her show.
The billionaire media mogul announced Thursday her plans to end her highly rated The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011 after 25 years.
DeGeneres said Winfrey called her with the news and she praised Oprah, saying, “I don’t think I could be here without her. I think she has blazed a trail.
“She will always be the queen of daytime television. She also said she is leaving me all of her money.”
Winfrey, 55, whose current program reaches about 7 million viewers a day, is preparing to start her own cable channel — OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network — in a joint venture with Discovery Communications.
