Oprah Winfrey made the cover of Forbes – Jay Z did not
Rapper Jay Z is somewhere steaming over the fact that failing media honcho Oprah made the cover of Forbes‘ $126 Billion cover — and he didn’t.
Winfrey, 58, shares the Forbes “$126 Billion” cover with Jay Z’s good pal billionaire investor Warren Buffet, 82, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, 56. Jay Z, who is not quite billionaire status — shared the Forbes cover of the “400 Richest People in the World” with Buffet in 2010. Jigga, 43, has not been on the cover since.
Winfrey has caught a lot of flack for using her billions to fund building a school in Africa, but the former talk show maven shoulders on. In 2010 Winfrey hosted 7 of her students who took a tour of Boston College for 2 weeks. Winfrey introduced the “magnificent seven” — as she calls them — to her well-heeled friends, including President Obama at the White House.
But despite the school’s success stories, it’s apparent that Oprah has never gotten over the criticism from American blacks: she has plans to build another school — this time in the U.S.
From Forbes.com:
Winfrey is reaching out to corporations and wealthy individuals in South Africa, hoping to boost the school’s endowment. Her fellow billionaires are pitching in, too: Michael Dell donated laptops, Spanx inventor Sara Blakely cut a $1 million check and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos gave each girl a Kindle. Winfrey, meanwhile, is mulling her next big move: a school in the U.S., possibly in her home state of Mississippi.

I’m sure he ain’t mad…his bank account still makes him smile.
Wow just when you thought Oprah wasn’t that powerful!!!
So you mean to tell me J didnt make it…..not even with Bey money added
She shouldn’t feel obligated to build a school here…she does plenty for the Black community…she just don’t brag about it…which is how it should be done. I hate a bragger!
I know Afiya…I would love to have his bank acct. two bc Im sitting her trying to come up with a budget for my daughter gymnastics classes….I bet J dont have them problems huh
Really, why would Jay be mad. Why is he even in this article
Public schools in the city where her show was filmed don’t have textbooks, schools are falling apart, no air conditioning. She was there for years…. Now she’s gone
Surely she could’ve helped closer to home if she chose to
MS needs schools! #googlehighschooltoprisonpipeline #knowledgeispower
*I meant to put an “etc.” after air conditioning
This does not really surprise me.I Read awhile back that Sean doesnt have the type of Money People think he has
I personally dont either!
When I think about Oprah helping a far vs home….At 1st glance I thought maybe it was easier to open a school in Africa and totally fund it. Is that possible here in the US? Im sure it is in someway but is there a limit she can give to one school in a particular area. A lot of questions come to mind. If I lived in MS and she opened a school in a poor district and my child lived in another poor district but couldnt go to that school (that probably near by) because of zoning laws….I was be sad. Im just saying there are a lot of problems with public schools, in America that is controlled by the Government.
Hmmmm
Hmmmm 
They both think they all that!
I definately dont have the type of money people think I do. I had to make an arrangement this week! You know how long its been since Ive done that
THis Crossfit shiat kills me!
Jay ain’t mad, he already said it a song. He got 99 problems but a b@tch (Oprah) ain’t one. (I just had to say it…)
lol…Coldestdj..thats not cool….He was talking bout Bey

The image of a big black woman up between Buffet and Gates says so much more than Sean Carter being in the mix. Now can we get 50 more Oprahs please?
Hi Sandra
Not to doubt you, but all signs are pointing to OWN being a success,,,In fact this weekend I was at an event for something,,,And someone projected OWN doing lots of things,,,They also compared OWN to FOX, and TBS and TNT,,,OWN is set to turn a profit quicker than all 3 of those did,,,And they had less competition…So yeah…Hats off to lady O,,,It may have taken awhile in the eyes of this internet driven generations eyes,,,And there may have been some missteps,,,But there always is,,,Does anyone remember cop rocks?lol…He called you son he aint yo daddy.lol (youtube it) Anyway,,,I had a great day 
Y’all have to go on world star and search

@jenie
Lord how long before Esau’s time is up?
Begin rant:
ALL you edomites ( every last one of you ) are all the same. WICKED AND EVIL AS HELL. You think that all those evil mind games that you play at the workplace is normal? You think that negroes can’t see the underhanded BS that you do behind closed doors?
.
.
Yall have got to be the DUMBEST nation of nothing people on the face of this planet, if you think treating negroes with disrespect and discrimination at the workplace is normal.
.
.
This is why YALL ARE NOT CHOSEN BY GOD, because EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU have a perpetual wickedness within you against the TRUE JEWS ( which are the negroes ).
.
.
.
Yep! God chose the negroes over your sorry asses.
.
.
.
As soon as I find that book that shows you alls TRUE HISTORY —> ( you all were OUR slaves, butt-naked in chains and everythang) . As soon as I find that book, I’m going to make copies of those images and start passing it out and posting it around town, so our people can see what you really are……nothing but stinking ivory cave monkeys!!!
.

Temporary End of Rant.

HEYY @Jenie!!
You edomites will pay FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID AND EVERYTHING YOU DIDNT DO.
.
.
Coming out of the Book of MALACHI chapter 1, verse 4:
” Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and the people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.”
.
.
.
and for that dumb ass edomite that doesnt know the meaning of the word indignation, it means RESENTMENT—> which means yall edomites are forever unworthy!!!!
.

Somehow, I doubt Oprah’s philanthropic deeds stop at Africa. How about the 20 black men she put through Moorehouse out of her own pocket?
What kills me about people pissed that Oprah isn’t giving ENOUGH of her money, is that those are the main ones who will cuss your a$$ out for asking for $20.
“Ask NOT what the f@ck I do with MY bank account. Ask what YOU can do to better occupy your time so you can get you some business specifically designated for your checkbook.”
Everybody wanna call u out for what you’re not doing, but can’t tell you $hit they’ve done that doesn’t exclusively benefit themselves.
