5. Author Gifts Oprah $21,000 Worth Of Shoes
Oprah has been known to shape many authors’ careers just by having them on the show. She invites authors, sometimes for her book club and then the next thing you know these authors are hitting the bestsellers list and bringing in millions of dollars. Jessica Seinfeld isn’t just famous because of her comedian husband; she wrote a cooking book called Deceptively Delicious.
She was invited to Oprah’s show to showcase her new book and the very next day she found herself on the New York Times’ bestsellers list. Jessica was so thankful that she sent Oprah 21 pairs of shoes, most of which were from designer Christian Louboutin.
Reportedly the cost of the shoes went well over $21,000. Although the gift happened around the holiday season, it was more of a thank you gift than a Christmas gift. You can’t blame the girl for the extravagant gifts; she must have been thrilled because of the millions that came in from Oprah promoting her book.
