Oprah Winfrey’s Best Friends

Being
friends with Oprah is pretty much the best proof of making it in
life. We can all imagine actually wanting to be friends with Oprah,
but the scenario where Oprah would want to be friends with us seems
to be very unlikely. She meets so many interesting people that it
almost feels like you’d be putting a burden on her to annoy her
with your presence.

Here’s
a few celebrities that are considered to be among Oprah’s best
friends, just so you know what level of fame you have to aim for if
you want to get in Oprah’s inner circle.

Bono

I
mean, let’s face it, I think this is one of the few situations
where Oprah has the most to gain in the friendship, since Bono has
been awesome since the 80’s.

Prince
Harry

Being
famous gets you in contact with a lot of famous people, but it does
take extra effort to become friends with an heir to the British
throne. He may not be the first heir, but he’s the heir
nonetheless.

Michelle
Obama

Even
America’s First Lady wasn’t immune to Oprah’s charms and
they’re still friends to this day.

Ellen
DeGeneres

Being
the two most popular female talk show hosts probably creates quite a
connection, and Oprah and Ellen just went for it and became very
close friends.

Rihanna

It’s
hard to imagine anyone – including Rihanna or Oprah – not wanting
to be friends with Rihanna or Oprah, and here you have the proof.

Whoopi
Goldberg

While
Whoopi has had a few weirder periods in her life, she did gain a
friendship with Oprah in recent years and that’s never a bad thing.

Dr.
Phil

This
might be a bit of a shocker, but apparently if you want to be friends
with a talk show host, being a talk show host helps.

Beyoncé

If all else fails, you can also become the biggest pop star in the world. That’ll probably get you on Oprah’s radar. I mean, it worked for Beyoncé.
