No actor or actress is as wealthy as Oprah Winfrey. Though she grew up in poverty, some have called Oprah the world’s most powerful woman.
Her talk show, her magazine, her radio channel. Everything she touches turns to green.
A 2019 report had her net worth at $2.6-billion. She’s the richest self-made woman in America. She’s got sprawling homes all over the U.S., and one in Antigua.
Jay Z-$1 Billion
Sean Carter has scored over 22 Grammys and sold over 100 million records. But that's just a fraction of the income he gets from his label Roc-A-Fella Records and his clothing line Rocawear. He also invests in several projects, like the music streaming service Tidal and his company Roc Nation Sports, in which he's a licensed sports agent.
He's the first rapper to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. He holds the record for the most #1 albums on the Billboard 200, which is currently 14 albums. He's now investing into smart phone apps and TV and films.
Fact: Jay-Z was once president of Def Jam Recordings. He married Beyonce, and their combined wealth was not enough to outbid Notch, the creator of Minecraft, for a Beverly Hills mansion. He's part-owner of the Brooklyn Nets basketball team.
Graff Diamonds Hallucination watch: $55 million
Completed in 2014, the Hallucination watch by London-based Graff Diamonds took “several thousand hours of work” and 110 carats to create, reports Money Inc. “A sculptural masterpiece,” the platinum quartz watch is encrusted in yellow, pink, blue, gray, and orange diamonds in different cuts.
1963 Ferrari 250 GTO: $70 million
In 2018, the vintage Italian sports car broke a record when Chicago’s David MacNeil, the founder/CEO of WeatherTech, bought it for $70 million. As CNN explains, “It’s extremely rare for an owner to part with one at any price” because only 39 were built by Ferrari between 1962 and 1964.
At the time of MacNeil’s purchase, the auction chairman James Knight said, “The Ferrari 250 GTO is the motoring market’s equivalent of Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers.'” Who else owns this legendary vehicle? Ralph Lauren, Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason, and British billionaire Lord Anthony Bamford.
Wittelsbach-Graaf diamond: $80 million
Found in India during the 17th century, this deep-blue diamond was first owned by Spain’s King Philip IV and changed hands many times over the ages. In 2008, Christie’s London auctioned the 35.36-carat diamond. Graff Diamonds’ Laurence Graff won at $24,311,191. Unhappy with the stone’s “25 flaws and numerous chips and scratches, a result of its multiple setting changes over the past 360+ years,” he recut it into a 31.06-carat diamond

$400 Drop: Bitcoin Faces Correction After Rejection at Price Hurdle

Bitcoin's daily and 4-hour chart indicators are reporting buyer exhaustion. That, coupled with a bull failure at $10,500, has opened the doors for a correction to a rising trendline at $9,900. A violation there would expose next support at $9,707.
A bounce from the rising trendline support will likely yield another rally to $10,500.
The overall bull case will remain valid as long as prices are holding above support near $9,100.
Bitcoin could be staring deeper losses, having faced rejection at key price hurdle on Thursday.
The top cryptocurrency by market value was seeing bids around $10,400 during the Asian trading hours. Buying interest weakened after the cryptocurrency failed to stay above Wednesday's high of $10,500 and prices fell sharply to $10,077 around 08:30 UTC.
Bitcoin is currently trading near $10,200, representing a 1 percent drop on a 24-hour basis, according to CoinDesk's Bitcoin Price Index.
Overall, the trend remains bullish, with prices still up 42 percent on a year-to-date basis and trading well above the 200-day average at $8,867. However, the $400 drop seen earlier is suggestive of buyer exhaustion, as it was preceded by repeated failure at $10,500 and accompanied by an overbought reading on the money flow index.
As a result, deeper correction to levels below $10,000 cannot be ruled out.
Daily chart
Wednesday's green candle has been engulfed bearishly by today's retreat from $10,500 to $10,077.
Alongside that, the RSI has produced a lower-highs pattern over the last three days, contradicting the higher highs on price – a bearish divergence that often precedes notable corrections.
4-hour chart
Bitcoin charted multiple 4-hour candles with long upper wicks in the last 24 hours, indicating bull fatigue in the range of $10,400-$10,500.
On a recent trip to the Maldives, my entire trip was planned around one single hotel amenity: an overwater bungalow with a built-in, two-story waterslide. (Never mind the bedroom's retractable roof and the floating catamaran nets by the private pool.)
Here more than anywhere else on Earth, it's extravagant design features-rather than a convenient location or knockout restaurant that makes it hotel
Enter Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, which is shaking up the formula of Maldivian luxury with the region's first-ever underwater bungalow. (You read that right.)
When it opens late this year, the Muraka, which translates to "coral" in the local language, Dhiveli, will have cost $15 million to build-but the experience of sleeping 16.4 feet below sea level can be all yours for a cool A$65,000 per night, before taxes.
Al-Saud:$1.4 Trillion
The combined net worth of the entire royal family has been estimated up to $1.4 trillion which has about 15,000 members and makes them the richest royal family among all monarchs as well as one of the wealthiest families in the world if not the wealthiest.
Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi: $450 million
Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud bought the Salvator Mundi (Savior of the World) at a Christie’s auction, shocking everyone with his final bid of $450 million. As Vanity Fair explains, “The last known da Vinci painting in private hands” first sold for $60 in 1958. Now, it had a home after the prince won the bidding war by telephone.
Due for a September 2018 premiere at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Salvator Mundi has reportedly been missing since around that time. The exhibit was postponed, and Prince Bader doesn’t seem too concerned.
Sean Comb:$825 Million
Sean “Diddy” Combs has done a good bit of film work. His performances in Monster’s Ball and Get Him to the Greek are quite memorable.
But Combs has too many other business ventures to be committed fully to acting
His stunning $825-million net worth comes from a lot of places. The certified platinum recording artist and Grammy winner also owns clothing line Sean John.
If that wasn’t enough, he owns restaurants, a vodka company (Cîroc), Revolt TV, and the aforementioned Aquahydrate, with Mark Wahlberg. Combs is one busy—and wealthy—man.
