Oprah is one of the most successful women of this generation. She was born in Mississippi to a poor family in a town that rallied against her. She fought tooth and nail to score a spot as a reporter but then lost that job before she could hit the ground running. Now, she's worth around 2.5 billion dollars. Mississippi is lucky to have her!
