During a fundraiser for the Beth Tfiloh Dahan Community School in Baltimore, Oprah Winfrey talks about how fantastic it was that shes ao rich.

I have lots of things, like all these Manolo Blahniks. I have all that and I think it’s great. I’m not one of those people like, ‘Well, we must renounce ourselves.’ No, I have a closet full of shoes and it’s a good thing.

I was coming back from Africa on one of my trips. I had taken one of my wealthy friends with me. She said, ‘Don’t you just feel guilty? Don’t you just feel terrible?’ I said, ‘No, I don’t. I do not know how me being destitute is going to help them.’ Then I said when we got home, ‘I’m going home to sleep on my Pratesi sheets right now and I’ll feel good about it.’

There you have it people, being rich is great, if you ever become rich don’t feel guilty about being rich.
