\n\n\n\nWinfrey\u2019s name on her birth certificate is actually Orpah Winfrey. The former queen of daytime talk was named after a biblical character in the Book of Ruth. The name was mispronounced so frequently that Winfrey started going by Oprah to make things easier \u2014 and it just stuck.\n\n\n\n
2. She Gave Birth To A Son When She Was 14\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWinfrey became pregnant when she first entered her teen years and gave birth to a son at age 14. She had been raped and tried to hide her pregnancy because she was ashamed. The baby died after being born premature. In 2015, Oprah revealed the name she had given her deceased son: Canaan.\n\n\n\n
3. She\u2019s A Dog Lover\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nWinfrey never had human children of her own, but she loves animals and has five dogs (pictured). She has a cocker spaniel named Sadie, two golden retrievers named Luke and Layla, and two springer spaniels named Sunny and Lauren. She lovingly refers to them as her \u201cfur children.\u201d She raises them with the love of her life. Click the next slide to read about him.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
4. She Has Been Dating Stedman Since 1986\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nOprah and Stedman Graham have managed to keep their relationship private over the years. The two have been dating since 1986, though they chose to not marry or have children. They live together and raise their five dogs together and don\u2019t seem to have plans to take their relationship to the next level.\n\n\n\n
5. Her BFF Is Gayle King\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nOprah and Gayle have been friends for decades. The two women even documented a 3,000-mile cross-country road trip back in 2006.

And you know that Gayle supports Oprah through and through, especially when she receives awards like in slide #6.\n\n\n\n
6. In 2002, Oprah Won The Television Arts & Sciences\u2019 Bob Hope Humanitarian Award\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\nWinfrey was the very first recipient of the Television Arts & Sciences\u2019 Bob Hope Humanitarian award. In 2002, she was presented with the award at the 54th Annual Emmys.\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe award, one of the highest honors presented by the Board, recognizes the contributions made by Hope, for more than half a century, to the growth and development of radio and television as a family medium and as a platform for political and social commentary.\u201d\n\n\n\n
Others who have won the award include Bill Cosby, Danny Thomas, and George Clooney.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
7. She Got Her Ears Pierced At Age 51\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnd it happened on national television! Winfrey hadn\u2019t had her ears pierced before and decided to do so on her 51st birthday. For some reason, the idea of getting her ears pierced scared her \u2014 but she did it. She had a plastic surgeon do the deed. That\u2019s something Oprah can afford. The next slide will tell you exactly how much she\u2019s worth!\n\n\n\n
8. As Of 2014, She Was America\u2019s Only Black Billionaire\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWinfrey\u2019s net worth is said to be in the billions.

She is estimated to be worth $3 billion, just a half billion less than President Donald Trump.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
9. In 2013, She Was Awarded The Presidential Medal Of Freedom\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWinfrey was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 by then-President Barack Obama.

10. The Name Of Her Production Company Is Harpo\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter Winfrey gave up daytime talk, she started her own production company. Harpo co-owns the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).
