Billionaire Oprah Winfrey is planning a tour to help you with your life.
The Oprah Winfrey experience is coming to an arena near you.Starting in September, Winfrey will set out on an eight-city Oprah's The Life You Want Weekend tour. The plan: pack 18,000-seat arenas for a two-day experience featuring a keynote by Winfrey, who will share her personal story and advice on Friday night, and group activities and speakers picked by her on Saturday. Among those signed to participate: Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, pastor Rob Bell, OWN star Iyanla Vanzant and, in certain cities, guru Deepak Chopra.
It's all about helping you live the life you want:
Winfrey tells THR a domestic tour has been atop her "bucket list" since she finished a speaking circuit in Canada in early 2013. Although Life You Want will be much larger in scale, her message remains the same. "It's about living the life you want, because a great percentage of the population is living a life that their mother wanted, that their husband wanted, that they thought or heard they wanted," says Winfrey, adding that she will use the platform to push themes of "empowerment, resilience and authenticity."
Tickets begin at $99 and a VIP "Meet and Greet" will cost you $999. Oprah says that this has been on her "bucket list" for some time, but it appears to represent one more avenue to extract capital from her addle-brained fans.
Life You Want is being staged in partnership with Harpo Studios, O, The Oprah Magazine, cable network OWN and her agency, WME, which recently launched a live events division. (The latter, a way to capitalize on another potential revenue stream in a fractured media environment, also is behind other events, including Arianna Huffington and Mika Brzezinski’s Thrive: A Third Metric Live and Cosmopolitan Magazine's Fun Fearless Career Weekend.) Toyota and Olay will serve as sponsors. Although the different Winfrey media outlets likely will use tour content, fellow OWN president Erik Logan says they haven't yet determined how.
This is precisely what makes liberals, especially wealthy liberals, so loathsome.

Oh geese!
I just checked.
My bucket list does NOT include seeing Oprah…….
What can I say?
I guess that’s why she’s a billionaire.
I’ll pass.
ok ok ok, I’ll agree to let Oprah pay me $10,000 for an hour of my time.
Otherwise I’m booked.
Is Deepak Chopra still around?
That old dinosaur.
Damn! I was hoping I’d get PAID $1,000 for meeting her, although I really don’t think my time is worth such a small sum.
I wouldn’t meet that witch if it paid me $1,000!
"Never take sides in politics because no matter what side you take you'll lose half your audience"
Hello Oprah, how's that career going? Especially considering you fanatically promoted THE worst President in this nations history? ha ha ha!!
I’m thinking this will be a dud. Dollars to donuts she can’t find 18000 total in the 8 sites combined willing to drop a grand.
And before anyone else says it, yes: That's racist. (isn't everything?)
There......I've said it!
I’ll never forget one night at a strip mall steak house in Port Charlotte, FL. Turns out Frank Gorshin was there, alone, for a bite to eat. He was in town for an appearance at a local theater.
After his meal, the manager came over with a camera and asked for the obligatory picture for the wall (along with the pick up of the check). There was a microsecond look that flashed across his face that said “F... Off”, but he then proceded to pose for the picture. The instant the camera came up, he flashed the wide grin a la Riddler. Before the flash had died down, his face was back to normal.
I was amazed. I had just seen the Mask put on and off in less than 5 seconds.
A very sad moment.
But somehow, looking forward to seening the “O” in a few more years in Port Charlotte, FL. Or if she can’t make the big time, maybe Punta Gorda will do.
Is she still alive? I thought after she got kicked off the air she would be dead or bankrupt by now.

Mother Oprah knows best...
Oprah NEVER GAVE ANYONE A CAR.....GENERAL MOTORS DID!!!!
“Eat chew and puke” lives in the small town in NJ that My business was in. They were a tenant and sold “Packy” Buda stuff that were mostly knock off’s. Used her P R to support the business
Flash in a pan. Perfect with “OKRA”
Not taking in to account Oprah’s politics, falling for liars, and agenda... I will give you advice for half the cost.
Work hard, find a product lots people want, ruthlessly promote that product, and watch the money flow. She made her fortunes working hard on a product millions of stay at home moms wanted.
You can send your checks to....
It will cost you to “greet” Jesse Jackson, too. They’re all frauds. And white who pay the fees are idiots. I say whites because I doubt very many blacks can afford it.
