OPRAH WINFREY made $12 MILLION in about an hour yesterday, simply by posting a video about BREAD. It was a thirty-second ad for Weight Watchers.

She said, “This is the joy for me. I love bread. I love bread. I now just manage it. So, I don’t deny myself bread, I have bread everyday. That’s the genius of this program. I have lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day.”

Over the next hour, Weight Watchers shares grew more than 16%. According to MarketWatch.com, Oprah owns just under 6.4 million shares, and that boost earned her $12 million. (Of course, Oprah isn’t cashing out yet, so technically she only “made” $12 million in stock value.)
