Howard Stern has shared some harsh judgements of Oprah Winfrey, concerning her “wealth” and how she displays it.
Over the holiday weekend, the former Oprah Winfrey Show host shared a few videos from her home where she had lunch with Abbott Elementary creator and star Quinta Brunson.
In the background of the clips, a portion of Winfrey’s beautiful home and garden can be seen.
“Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all,” Stern said on Monday’s (28 November) episode of his self-titled radio show, The Howard Stern Show. “She loves showing it off on Instagram. It’s f***ing mindblowing when you follow her on Instagram, you see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her.”
His co-host Robin Quivers joked: “Service her? She’s not a car.”
“Well, she kind of is,” Stern responded. “She’s got servants and like people cooking and it’s f***king wild. She knows how to be rich… but she kind of likes to show it off, which is something I’m not comfortable with. I don’t think that people should show off their wealth.”
“Let’s put it this way,” Quivers further challenged, suggesting: “Oprah’s just showing you her life. She’s not showing off.”
Stern replied: “Well you gotta be a little self-aware and know that there are people struggling out there, Robin.
“You gotta be a little bit aware of this s***.”
The Independent has contacted Winfrey’s representatives for comment.
Winfrey’s current net worth is estimated to be $2.5b (£2b) (via Forbes), which she has accumulated via the combination of her talk show successes, brand ambassadorships and TV shows.
The 68-year-old Mississippi native became a millionaire aged 32 after The Oprah Winfrey Show became the highest-rated American talk show ever and went on to become nationally syndicated. It ran for 25 years from 1986 to 2011.
