This post really demonstrates and reflects the minds in this country. MANY are just all too eager to believe this drivel and have an opinion on it. Those believers who dis Opera for a non-report-report are probably the same people that believe everything that the Right Spin Machine puts out. They probably believe every iota on FOX noise and do not question anything. Learn to use your own minds folks. Logic 101 might help also.
Oprah would bring heaven down if she handed out the 30M to 30 people and make them millionnaires rather than worry about those puppies. Her puppies have found 30 families to care for them 24/7.
How about that, Oprah?
Is the a Hermes proviso in the will? Like no Hermes collars, or oui oui pads, stuff like that.
Fact is many, many people provide in their wills for their pet care. Many people provide in the millions. So if Oprah did this, it is not an unusual act.
And do any of you know how expensive it would be to maintain pets in an environment they are used to? If one can afford to provide a home they are used to, feeding, vet bills, then who cares. Who are you to judge or say "she can just give her four pets to relatives or the SPCA."
Long ago the courts have turned away warring relatives, etc. who argues that leaving money to pets was "irrational," "unjust," or signs of dementia. Of course, these attempts were simply an attempt by the disinherited to get money that otherwise the deceased did not intend to leave the people.
Absent signs of an unsound mind at the time the will was signed, one cannot contest the will. And no matter how detestable or "mean" some bequests may seem, the will cannot be challenged.
And since Oprah is worth about $1.5 billion, who cares what she does with a few million. No one can tell her how to spend her money while she is living, why should that change on her death. [If you think the contrary you are simply poor, unsuccessful and stupid].
Oprah and others already give a lot of money away. I guess some people think that is not enough. What a bunch of have-not sheet for brains.
Must be lonely at the top. Oprah has lost touch with the people she knew before she became a star, people whose lives could be changed by a million and could be trusted to care for her pets.
Obama who?
IF this story is true, this is still a small percentage of her wealth.
I don't watch or follow Oprah, but it seems she is being very philanthropic with her money, building schools etc.
If I had that kind of dough I would leave a pile of it to my four dogs too.
To anyone that posted indicating that they even remotely BELIEVE this drivel:
You're MORONS.
We all know that dogs are just as happy with a pat and a kind word, a warm place to nap and decent food...they don't need kobe beef and a mansion to be happy...in fact they don't even know there is a difference. This is proof IMO that Oprah has truly let her money and fame go to her head (just like Leona)
Dogs are wonderful creatures but they are not people.
I hadn't realized Oprah was mentally ill.
Poor women she must have no true friends.
30 million in the trust fund thats 29 mil. for attorneys and "fees" and one mil. for the rest of the dogs.
Why does HuffPo put up an uncorroborated post? This is a made up story folks.
Reading this thread has been one crazy experience, and nothing to do with Oprah.
And I haven't even had my coffee yet.
The story seems far fetched.
It's in Oprah's best interest to deny this story and set the record straight.
Have you seen any such effort from Oprah? If so please post it.
WHEN WE SEE ALL THOSE AFRICANS IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD, SLEEPING WITH HUNGER,AND AN AFRICAN AMERICAN WASTING THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A FEW DOGS,SHOWS IRRISPONSIBLE AND HYPOCROCY OF OPRAH WITH REGARD TO HUMANITY!!!?I AM SURE SOME ONE IN THIS WORLD WOULD HAVE TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER DOGS,IT DID NOT NEED THIS MUCH MONEY!?AND THIS SHOWS HOW LONLY IS OPRAH.DEAR OPRAH YOU MAY NEED TO MARRY SOME ONE WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF YOUR DOGS,AND SEND THIS MONEY TO THOSE WHO NEED THEM VERY BADLY.
If Oprah were a white man I would still find her worthless and overrated as a talk show host.
the arrogance of her and doctor Pill her other creation is astounding...especially since they both have such a narrow scope.
The whole thing with the secret truly showed just how goofy oprah is.
ANYONE with a little charisma could do her job. Save the respect for people who actually do things like cancer researchers etc.
Well, since it's your opinion that matters, we now have the matter settled.
