You can’t take it with you when you die—so what is Oprah doing with her millions of dollars in net worth after she’s gone? Leaving it to her dogs. That’s right, the media mogul, who’s worth around $3B, is leaving at least $30M of her wealth to her dogs. Keep reading for more information.
Oprah's Doggie Trust Fund
Oprah Winfrey loves her dogs, Sadie, Sunny, and Lauren, and posts photos of her showering them with love on her social pages (as she should!). But it turns out, her love for her furry friends goes a lot further than we thought. Oprah, 71, has reportedly created a trust fund to go towards the care and keeping of her pups if she were to die before them.
A source told Women's Day that Oprah "has set up a trust fund to care for her babies when she dies. Oprah has a menagerie of animals and she wants them to be pampered for the rest of their lives if she were to die first...so she rewrote her will to include millions for their care. Oprah's a billionaire, so $30M is not a lot of money if you look at her entire net worth."
Social Media Reaction
Predictably, this news has made its rounds through multiple social media platforms and has sparked outcry from many. On an Instagram post publicizing the story, users filled the comment section with how they really feel. "More reasons I truly dislike her," one person wrote.
"What does it take for people to see the light?" one person asked. "There's a lot of folks out here that can use some assistance."
"Like there's humans out here starving and homeless," another person agreed.
"$30M could probably feed half of Africa!" a fourth person wrote. "Pathetic!"
"I feel like $1M would've been overboard," a final user posted. "THIRTY MILLION?"
