10 USAHAWAN DALAM BIDANG HIBURAN

KRU

 nama trio tiga adik beradik ini sudah memang tersangat dikenali diseantero Asia. KRU. Tiga aksara yang melambangkan kesungguhan, muzik, inovasi dan teknologi tiga artis Melayu yang boleh dibanggakan. Kumpulan yang sudah lebih sedekad membabitkan diri dalam perniagaan berkisarkan muzik ini bijak menggunakan segala peluang yang ada untuk mengukuhkan kedudukan dalam industri seni.

Kejayaan mengukir nama dalam dunia seni suara turut memberi kesan kepada penghasilan filem termasuk aspek pentadbiran dan penerbitan. Malah sejak akhir-akhir ini Kru sibuk mengukuhkan kedudukan mereka untuk menjadi satu jenama di medan antarabangsa. Semua syarikat milik mereka disatukan di bawah satu entiti di beri nama KRU STUDIOS, malah sudah mempunyai cawangan di luar negara.

Perkembangan positif dalam dunia perniagaan bukan saja membanggakan tiga beradik itu malah kalangan yang mengikuti kemajuan kerjaya seni mereka. Perkara itu turut dikongsi semua pihak. Dek kesibukan dan urusan perniagaan yang semakin berkembang, syarikat yang berpusat di Setiawangsa ini sudahpun mengalihkan operasinya ke Cyberjaya tidak lama lagi.

KRU bermula dari bawah, mereka mendaki setiap anak tangga untuk menuju ke puncak dan yang paling penting, mereka tidak menunggu peluang, mereka menciptanya! Pada peringkat awal perniagaan pada 1992, mereka hanya menyewa bilik kecil. Kakitangannya, adalah Norman Abdul Halim, vokalis KRU dan ibu. Apabila perniagaan mereka sudah berkembang, mereka berpindah ke Setiawangsa seterusnya membeli blok perniagaan itu pada 1996 dan 1997. Disebabkan pejabat di Setiawangsa yang agak padat dengan jumlah pekerja yang semakin ramai dan pelbagai perancangan yang sedang giat diatur, pihak pengurusan KRU iaitu mereka sendiri bertekad untuk berpindah ke sebuah lokasi yang lebih selesa. BERKELUASAN 15.39 ekar di atas sebidang tanah di Cyberjaya, KRU Studios dilengkapi pelbagai kemudahan canggih untuk tujuan penerbitan, ia dilihat sebagai simbol kejayaan kepada KRU yang ditunjangi tiga beradik popular, Norman Abdul Halim, Yusry Abdul Halim serta Edry Abdul Halim.

Bangunan tersebut dilengkapi dengan studio penerbitan audio, studio suntingan, studio pengimejan digital dan studio animasi visual kesan khas. Selain itu, ia juga menyediakan dua pentas persembahan yang masing-masingnya berkeluasan 2,500 dan 10,000 kaki persegi untuk tujuan persembahan konsert dan rakaman program-program televisyen. Selain itu, ia juga menyediakan bilik-bilik serbaguna seperti bilik pakaian, bilik solekan serta bilik untuk artis.

Tak cukup dengan itu, KRU Studios turut tidak lupa untuk menyediakan ruang untuk set penggambaran luar terutama untuk perfileman, ruang pejabat untuk disewa oleh syarikat produksi yang bukan sahaja daripada bidang filem malah pengiklanan. Dan yang paling utama, KRU Studios mampu berbangga apabila studionya di Cyberjaya turut menawarkan sistem penataan kesan khas dan imej janaan komputer (CGI) yang kini banyak digunakan dalam industri penerbitan.

Bidang muzik telah mereka kuasai. Feminin, Elite, Adam AF2, Dafi, Innuendo, Ezzlyn-semua adalah artis rakaman KRU yang rata-ratanya Berjaya di arena muzik tanah air. Kini, KRU lebih menumpukan kepada bidang filem, sesuatu yang mereka memang ingin terokai dari umur remaja lagi. Dengan adanya KRU Studios ini, KRU merancang untuk menghasilkan 12 buah filem dalam setahun dan menggiatkan penghasilan penerbitan-penerbitan lain. Meskipun Thailand dan beberapa negara rantau Asia memiliki teknologi HD, KRU Studios menawarkan perkhidmatan yang jauh lebih murah di samping lokasinya strategik.

KRU sememangnya artis yang tidak pernah kenal erti BEREHAT. Buktinya, mereka telah pun menghasilkan sebuah dokumentari berorientasikan budaya tempatan untuk pasaran luar. Dokumentari itu berkisar tentang keris, wau, batik dan kehidupan masyarakat Bajau Laut serta penduduk Portugis di Melaka. Yang membanggakan ialah dokumentari itu telah berjaya dipasarkan di 22 buah negara dan ada dokumentari terbabit berjaya memenangi anugerah dalam satu majlis penganugerahan di Bali, Indonesia tahun lalu.

Kejayaan Norman bersama dua adiknya, Yusry dan Edry adalah berdasarkan usaha mereka membina perniagaan sejak 1992 dari modal sebanyak RM2,000 sahaja. Tetapi kini, mereka sudah ada aset bernilai jutaan ringgit termasuk bangunan sendiri yang berharga RM4.8 juta. Norman, 36 tahun, ialah Presiden dan Ketua Eksekutif kepada syarikat KRU Capital Sdn Bhd yang mempunyai 6 anak syarikat iaitu KRU Music Group, KRU Publishing, KRU Communications, KRU Films, KRU Media dan KRU Matrix. KRU Capital juga telah mengembangkan sayapnya ke Amerika Syarikat dan Singapura dengan penubuhan KRU America Inc. dan KRU Singapura Pte Ltd.

Walt Disney - A Look at the Man Behind Mickey Mouse

Disney is one of the most recognized brands in the world, but few know as much about the man behind the Magic Kingdom, not to mention the hundreds of animated cartoons, countless feature films and endless toys that bear his name. An influential innovator and entrepreneur in the mid 20th century, Disney went from sketching a rabbit (yes, a rabbit) to running a multi-billion dollar empire.

Early Years:

Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago and was an avid artist from an early age. At 16, he enlisted in the Red Cross and served in World War I, driving an ambulance that he customized with his own cartoon drawings. Upon his return, he worked as an advertising cartoonist in Kansas City, Missouri, but this soured quickly.

Disney then decided to move to California, where he joined forces with his brother, Roy. Walt handled the creative aspects of partnership, while Roy focused on the business and financial end. The Disney brothers borrowed a little money, set up a studio in their uncle's garage, and made some noise with a series of black-and-white cartoons featuring a rabbit named Oswald, which he produced for Universal Studios. When Walt asked Universal for a raise, however, they balked. Since the studio retained the rights to the character, Disney quit drawing Oswald after 1928, although the series continued.

Entrepreneurial Spirit:

Disney went back to the drawing board, producing a silent cartoon called Plane Crazy that featured a new character named Mickey Mouse. But the advent of sound changed everything in Hollywood. To capitalize on the craze for "talkies", Disney delayed Plane Crazy and instead produced a second Mickey Mouse cartoon, this one with sound. Steamboat Willie, released in 1928, was the first animated film to feature synchronized sound. Despite the film's international success, Walt and Roy still needed cash, so they licensed Mickey Mouse's image for a fee of $300, to be used on a tablet of paper aimed at children.

Disney became fixated on using the newest technology for his films. He obtained exclusive rights to use Technicolor in animated films for two years, winning his first Academy Award in 1932 for the animated short Flowers and Trees, which was also the first full-color cartoon.

He would win 26 Oscars over the course of his career, the most awards given to any individual. During the next few years, Goofy, Donald Duck and several other memorable characters joined Mickey. But Disney believed the future of company was in feature-length films, and released Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. It was the first feature-length animated movie to be produced in Technicolor, and cost nearly $1.5 million to make, an unheard of amount in Depression-era America.

Growth of the Company:

Disney recognized his strength was in story design, not actually animating, and by the time the brothers built a studio in Burbank, Calif., they employed more than 1,000 people, including animators. Building on the success of Snow White, Disney released Pinocchioand Fantasia in 1940, Dumbo in 1941, and Bambi in 1942.

But the late 1930s and early 1940s were tough times for American businesses. Disney made it through the Great Depression and World War II by dedicating much of his new studio to producing health, education and propaganda films for the U.S. government. It also produced short comedies aimed at boosting national morale. To raise additional money, Disney took his operation public in 1940.

The company did not produce any new feature films during World War II, but in 1944 it did re-release Snow White into theaters, bringing in a significant amount of revenue for that year. This would begin a common strategy of re-releasing films about every 10 years, and later regulating the availability of Disney films on VHS and DVD. The next big animated film came in 1950, with the release of Cinderella.

Diversification:

As the company grew, Disney diversified production beyond cartoons and animated movies.Treasure Island, released in 1950, was the studio’s first live-action film, and the company formed Buena Vista Distribution a few years later. With its own in-house distribution company, Disney could continue to churn out movies while significantly saving on distribution costs. Live-action hits such as Swiss Family Robinson in 1960 and Mary Poppins in 1964 followed.

Disney's TV debut came around the same time as Treasure Island, with the special One Hour in Wonderland. The popular Mickey Mouse Club debuted as a TV series in 1955.

But it was another TV program that began in 1954, called Disneyland, that showed Walt Disney had even bigger plans for the company. A few years earlier, Disney established WED Enterprises as a separate company and began drawing up plans for Disneyland, a giant theme park. Because the park was technically part of a separate corporation, Disney was able to develop it in secret, worrying about how shareholders would react. Disneyland opened in 1955 as a theme park unlike any other the world had seen.

Disney employed a unique strategy to make the theme park quickly successful. He solicited several corporate sponsorships to subsidize costs, and outsourced food and merchandise within the park. Once Disneyland was earning revenue, the company repurchased those rights and kept the revenue internally. Plans for a second park, which ultimately became Walt Disney World, began with the acquisition of land in Florida in the 1960s. This second park would contain Disney's vision of what the future urban community would look like; he called it the "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow", now commonly known as Epcot Center.

The Dream Lives On: Walt Disney died in 1966, five years before Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida, and 16 years before Epcot Center opened in 1981. Time Magazine named Disney one of the most important people of the 20th century in its Time 100. In the profile, the magazine reveals a darker, unhappy side of the man who brought happiness to so many people.

But it's unfair to say that Walt Disney lost perspective during his ride to success. He's cited frequently as saying: "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing, that it was started by a mouse."

 Jenna Jameson's Transformation from Porn Princess to Media Mogul

By Scott AllenJuly 30, 2005

I was taking a look at the Forbes Celebrity 100, a list of the 100 wealthiest people in sports and entertainment, and their story about Jenna Jameson caught my eye. In case you don't know her name (or at least won't admit to it), Jameson is the world's most famous pornstar. While she has done only about 50 movies (not really very many by porn industry standards), she has managed to successfully cross over from her hardcore background into mainstream media. She has appeared over 30 times on Howard Stern's radio and TV show, has made numerous guest appearances on a variety of E! TV shows, has just completed a pilot for a new reality series, and her autobiographical How to Make Love Like a Porn Star spent six weeks on the New York Times bestseller list.

Jameson's holding company, ClubJenna, expects revenues of $30 million this year, at nearly 50% profitability! They plan to expand into Jenna-branded strip clubs, cosmetics, and an apparel line, as well as some racier products you might expect. You can even download a "moan tone" for your mobile phone. 40% of the company's revenue comes from web site membership fees and site management fees for other porn stars' Web sites, which they run for 16 other actors, including Tera Patrick and Briana Banks.

Now here's the punch line... Jenna Jameson hasn't had sex on-camera with a male partner other than her husband in seven years. In fact, she plans to grow her business without ever again having sex on video with anyone--male, female or herself. She has shot enough footage with her husband to release two movies a year for the next decade. She has signed five new actresses to star in ClubJenna movies, offering them a rare deal that includes 3% residuals on any sales over 10,000 copies (most porn stars do not receive residuals on their films).

Jameson's story is full of lessons for entrepreneurs. Let's take her story out of context for a minute. This is a woman who was being underpaid in a dead-end job while other people made money off of her work. But she didn't just take it lying down -- she decided to leverage the exposure she received by branching out into other products and services, all while still keeping her "job". Her first contract with Wicked Pictures paid her barely $1,000 a picture, doing eight to ten a year. But as a headlining stripper, she was getting paid $5,000 a show. Add to that posing for pictures with fans, selling her latest movie, and tips, and she was making as much as $50,000 in a week while on tour.

In the Forbes interview, her husband, porn star/director/producer Jay G. Grdina, said, "This has developed from an individual star into a porn conglomerate. Her brand has been developed with the reputation of being the best, and now we are capitalizing on that and monetizing the name."

Not only that, they largely control the distribution channel. While their movies are distributed by Vivid Entertainment, much of their content is available exclusively through their web site.

This combination of a strong brand and a tightly controlled distribution allows them to diversify much more easily. When launching a new product, they already have both marketing and distribution channels in place, as well as a loyal established customer base who will buy the new products, helping with initial market penetration.

She has also made a successful leap to passive income. Shooting a feature film every month and then touring as a dancer makes for a pretty grueling schedule. Now the vast majority of her income comes from product sales, Web site subscriptions, and site management fees. If Jenna Jameson goes on vacation for a month, the money still keeps coming in.

Simon Cowell – Music Mogul Millionaire

Finding Funding for Entrepreneurs, Creating Wealth for Investors

Simon Cowell is best known as the obnoxious judge on the hit TV show American Idol whose cynical comments sent contestants running out the door in tears, but what most don’t know is that his work didn’t start there and most definitely won’t end there. His list of achievements is long and includes being a successful record producer and executive for the BMG UK record company to gathering wannabe entrepreneurs on his show, American Inventor.

Before The Fame:

Cowell was born on October 7, 1959 and was raised most of his early life by nannies before being sent off to a boarding school. He acted up constantly in school and was consequently transferred sixteen times before finally leaving it all together at the age of sixteen.

Early Years:

Cowell then began work as a modest mail room clerk for EMI Music Publishing where his father worked. He soon moved up to become a record producer but left to form an independent music company, E&S Music, which didn’t quite make it, forcing Cowell to return to EMI. He was not content being back and left again shortly to form Fanfare Records with partner Iain Burton. From 1985 to 1989, Fanfare did well thanks to a string of minor hits from its artist, Sinitta.

Moving On Up:

Seeing Cowell’s potential early on, in 1989, BMG offered the position of A&R Consultant to Cowell when he was only 30 years old. After that, his career took off as he signed several successful artists such as the boy band Westlife and Robson & Jerome.

Idol Mania:

Cowell first appeared on television in 2001 as a judge on the first season of Pop Idol and thenAmerican Idol in 2002. His brutally honest comments helped him to be everyone's favorite to hate. His popularity rose as the both show's ratings rose and his sardonic and biting comments were mocked by millions around the world. Pop Idol's first season attracted over 11 million viewers and American Idol drew 22 million viewers for the first season finale.

Idol Maker:

Cowell set up another record label named S Records in 2002 which signed the top two finalists of the first season of Pop Idol who both went on to have number one hits in the UK. The winner, Will Young, brought in 1.8 million sales with his debut single, and Cowell was able to cleverly manage to gain a share of the royalties. Cowell also sold his half-share in S Records to BMG for $42 million, making Cowell an instant multi-millionaire.

Il Divo:

In 2001, detecting a worldwide trend of a growing appreciation for classical music, Cowell embarked on a project to assemble a multinational quartet of young, attractive male singers who would perform classical and other lyrical music. Cowell conducted a 2-year worldwide search ultimately to find David Miller (USA), Carlos Marín (Spain), Urs Bühler (Switzerland) and Sébastien Izambard (France). They have achieved 26 #1 chart positions internationally, sold over 13 million albums, and received over 100 gold and platinum awards around the world.

After Idol:

In December 2003, Cowell's catchphrase was turned into the title of his new book, I Don't Mean to Be Rude, But... He shares about his life, experiences working his way up the music industry and about being on the Idol shows. Cowell also began producing shows right and left under Syco, his production company. Although not all his shows did well, e.g., Cupid, others had a fairly large audience, including X-Factor, America’s Got Talent, Celebrity Duets andAmerican Inventor.

Family Cowell:

Cowell has one sister (Lindsay Elizabeth), a younger brother (Nicholas), three half-brothers (John, Michael, Tony) and one half-sister (June). While he hasn’t married yet, he was known to have dated singer Sinitta, an artist with his record company, and is now dating television presenter Terri Seymour, with whom he shares homes in London and Los Angeles.

The Business of Being Simon Cowell:

Currently, Cowell has signed on for five more seasons of American Idol making about $36 million a year from the show alone. Including everything else, Forbes predicts his total pay is about $43 million. For being the man America loves to hate, we do pay him awfully well.

In a BusinessWeek interview, he said that to be a successful entrepreneur you have to: "Work hard, be patient, and be a sponge while learning your business. Learn how to take criticism. Follow your gut instincts and don't compromise."

He considers himself a entrepreneur rather than a music man: "I've always treated the music business as a business. Whether I'm making TV shows or signing artists, you have to do it by the head and not the heart -- and I run my businesses that way."

Wise words from the man who started in the music business as a mail clerk.

Hugh Hefner: The Ultimate Lifestyle Entrepreneur

Hugh Hefner is the supreme bachelor of our time and the ultimate "lifestyle entrepreneur". He has forever changed our world by breaking the boundaries related to sexuality, age, and gender. He created a revolutionary magazine with naked women and great articles in a time when sexuality was not even appropriate to talk about.

Education:

Hugh Hefner (aka “Hef”) was born April 9, 1926 to conservative Nebraska farmers. Though Hef had a genius I.Q. of 152, he was still an average student. Hef enjoyed participating in extracurricular activities like the school newspaper, writing, and cartooning and was also president of the student counsel. Hef graduated in 1944 and joined the U.S. Army as an infantry clerk. While he was there Hef drew several cartoons for the Army newspaper.

After his release from the Army in 1946 he enrolled in the Chicago Art Institute, and in the fall attended class at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign where he received his bachelors degree in just 2½ years. Hef also took a graduate course in sociology for a semester at Northwestern. His interest was in individual freedom. He wrote a paper on U.S. sex laws during the time Kinsey was researching human sexuality.

Getting Started:

Hef worked as an asst. personnel manager for the Chicago Cartoon Company and then as a promotion copywriter for Esquire magazine. When the company moved to New York and refused the five dollar raise Hef requested, he quit and tried to raise enough money to launch a new Chicago Magazine. After failing he worked as a news stand promotions director of Publisher’s Development Corporation. While working, Hef found that there was a demand for a gentleman's magazine.

Playboy Magazine:

Between family and friends, Hef was able to raise $8,000 to start his magazine. The first issue featured Marilyn Monroe and sold over 50,000 copies. The original name was "Stag Party", but he was forced to change it as it was challenged as a trademark infringement by Stag Magazine. The name "Playboy" was suggested by a friend, and the famous bunny logo was picked for its humorous sexual connotation. With the bunny head wearing a tux, he was sophisticated, but also frisky and playful.

Playboy Enterprises:

Playboy now is the leading men’s magazine in the world, circulating more than three million copies in the U.S. and 4.5 million worldwide. The magazine contains award-winning fiction and investigation articles, in-depth interviews with gorgeous women and celebrities, and of course women and sex. The magazine is now owned by Playboy Enterprises Inc., and Christie Hefner (Hef’s Daughter) is Chairman and CEO.

Playboy Diversification:

Playboy is an international multimedia company with four income streams: publishing, licensing, online and TV. Playboy and Spice Television networks distribute programming of home video and DVD globally. Playboy.com is one of the leading male lifestyle web destinations providing entertaining articles and Playboy news, as well as subscription-based access to photos and videos. Playboy and Spice trademarks are licensed internationally for a range of consumer products such as clothing, toys, etc.

Mainstream Television and Film:

Long before The Playboy Channel and Playboy videos and DVDs, Hef was involved in the production of several mainstream television series and motion pictures. Playboy produced The Tragedy of Macbeth (1971), Monty Python's first movie, And Now for Something Completely Different (1971), The Naked Ape (1973) and Saint Jack (1979), plus television movies Third Girl from the Left (1973), The Death of Ocean View Park (1979), The Cop and the Kid (1975) and A Whale for the Killing (1981).

Contributions:

Hugh has been honored in California by the Chamber of Commerce for helping pay for the repairs to the Hollywood sign. He now has a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. In 1996 Hugh was honored in a formal ceremony by the University of California for his dedication and contributions to the film industry.

Personal Life:

Hef was married to his first wife classmate Mildred Williams in 1949, and conceived two children (Christie ’52, and David ‘55). Hef’s second wife Kim Conrad was 1989’s Playmate of the Year. The two had two sons, Marston Gilen ’90, and Conrad Bradford ’91 (they are separated at this time). Hef, almost 80, is seeing three women known as the “G.O.F.” Holly Madison, who claims to be the No. 1 girlfriend, is 25, Bridget Marquard, 31, and Kendra Wilkinson, 20.

This unusual living arrangement is the subject of a new reality TV show on E! Entertainment Television, The Girls Next Door, which looks at life inside the Playboy Mansion. Hef says that he has lived most of his personal life very publicly, so living it on E! for all to see isn't a big deal.

Hugh Hefner is considered one of the luckiest men alive - the ultimate lifestyle entrepreneur.

Oprah Winfrey - About.com Readers' Most Admired Entrepreneur

In a recent poll, we asked readers, "Which entrepreneur do you admire most?" The winner, hands down, was Oprah Winfrey, with nearly double the votes of Bill Gates and four times Richard Branson. In a career filled with firsts and superlatives, Oprah has managed to amass a sizable fortune, become one of the most powerful people in the entertainment industry, and yet maintain a sense of humility and compassion we all should strive to achieve.

Broadcasting Pioneer:

Born in a small town in Mississippi in 1954 and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, Oprah began her career in broadcasting at age 17 at radio station WVOL. By 19, she was anchoring the news at WTFV-TV, both the the first African-American woman and the youngest person ever to do so. In 1976 she moved to Baltimore, where she co-anchored WJZ-TV's Six O'Clock News. She soon made the switch to doing talk shows, hosting the local People Are Talking.

The Oprah Winfrey Show:

In 1984, Oprah relocated to Chicago to host AM Chicago. Within just one month, it had surpassedDonahue as the #1 local talk show, and within a year it was renamed The Oprah Winfrey Show. A year later, it entered national syndication and became the highest-rated talk show in TV history. It has remained the number one talk show for 18 seasons, has won dozens of Emmys, and is seen by an estimated 30 million viewers a week in the United States and is broadcast internationally in 111 countries.

Entertainment Entrepreneur:

Not content to work for somoeone else, in 1988, Oprah founded her own production facility, Harpo Studios (in case you hadn't noticed, that's "Oprah" spelled backwards, not a Marx Brothers reference). Since then, it has grown into Harpo, Inc., which employs around 250 full-time people in television and film production, magazine publishing, and online media. She is also co-founder of Oxygen Media, which operates the Oxygen Network, a cable network for women reaching more than 54 million viewers.

Movies:

In 1985 Oprah gave a breakout performance as "Sofia" in Stephen Spielberg's The Color Purple, garnering both Golden Globe and Oscar nominations. She has also acted in several made-for-TV movies. In 1990, she founded Harpo Films to work on projects based on contemporary and classic literature, such as 1998's Beloved, based on Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel and co-starring Oprah and Danny Glover. Harpo has a long-term deal with ABC to produce the "Oprah Winfrey Presents" telefilms.

O Magazine:

In 2000, in partnership with Hearst Magazines, Oprah launched O, The Oprah Magazine, a monthly magazine that has become one of today's top women's lifestyle publications. It now has a circulation of more than two million monthly readers (more than Martha Stewart Living or Vogue) andFortune called it "the most successful startup ever in the industry". In 2004, she launched O at Home, a seasonal home design magazine.

Internet Innovator:

With three million users per month generating 45 million page views, Oprah.com is one of the top women's lifestyle websites, covering a variety of topics, as well as providing in-depth resources about the show. It's also the home ofOprah's Book Club, now the largest book club in the world with more than half a million members. It's also the home of Live Your Best Life, an multimedia section featuring Oprah's personal life stories, life lessons, and an interactive workbook.

Private Life:

For a very public person, Oprah lives a remarkably private life. That's by design. Harpo employees are barred from talking or writing about her personal or business affairs and those of her company for the rest of their lives. Only once did a former employee, Elizabeth Coady, challenge it in court. Coady lost and Oprah's business and personal life remain remarkably private. Her companion, Stedman Graham, is a prominent management and marketing consultant with two best-selling books to his name.

Philanthropy:

In 1987 Oprah created The Oprah Winfrey Foundation "to support the education and empowerment of women, children and families in the United States and around the world." The charity has awarded millions of dollars to organizations throughout the world to improve education and health care. In 1997 she founded Oprah's Angel Network to inspire people to make a difference in the lives of others. So far the group has raised $27 million almost entirely from audience donations.

The Accidental Businesswoman:

Although she's a billionaire (the first black woman to achieve it) with a long list of business accomplishments and awards, Oprah told Fortune Magazine, "I don't think of myself as a businesswoman. The only time I think about being a businesswoman is now, while I'm talking to you. There's this part of me that's afraid of what will happen if I believe it all." She's turned down invitations to join the corporate boards of AT&T, Ralph Lauren, and Intel. But by most people's accounts, she's the most powerful woman in the entertainment industry.

Oprah's tremendous appeal comes from the fact that, although certain aspects of her life are very private, as Patricia Sellers put it, "Oprah's life is the essence of her brand, and her willingness to open up about it on daytime TV helped win the enduring trust of her audience." Oprah has maintained strict control of that brand, turning away countless requests for her to lend her name to a wide variety of products. Everything with her name on it is put out by her company under her direct supervision. Even the deals with ABC, Oxygen Network, and Hearst Magazines are basically distribution deals -- she retains full control. She owns 90% of Harpo's stock.

She does, however, have a top-notch behind-the-scenes partner managing the day-to-day running of the business. Jeff Jacobs, an entertainment lawyer who she originally approached to help with her AM Chicago contract, is the president and 10% shareholder of Harpo, Inc. He also acts as her agent and manager for her movie deals.

In the end, though, it's not all about the money. From her philanthropic efforts to the inspirational and educational nature of her shows to her book club to her Live Your Best Life program, it's clear that Oprah is all about two things: living a great life for yourself and making a difference in the world. She seems to have mastered both.
