Oprah made $12 Million from one tweet about bread

Oprah Winfrey on Tuesday reportedly made $12 Million after the 61-year-old media mogul posted a video of herself on Twitter announcing she had lost 26 pounds while eating bread every single day on a Weight Watchers diet.

''I lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day,'' Oprah says in the clip and then wrote, ''Eat bread. Lose weight. Whaaatttt? #ComeJoinMe '' as she pinned the tweet on her account.

Right after Oprah sent out the tweet, the Weight Watchers stock went up by a little over $2 per share. Seeing as she owns six million shares in the company, that means the valuation of her share in the company went up by $12 million because of the tweet!

Just because the stock price went up, it doesn’t mean that Oprah has $12 million more in her bank account though. She will have to sell the shares to receive the money.
