On Tuesday, Oprah Winfrey reportedly made $12 million with a single tweet. Not bad for 140 characters or less worth of work!
According to MarketWatch, the 61-year-old raked in the dough after she tweeted out a video about her Weight Watchers journey thus far. The site reports that after the media mogul shared the clip, the company's shares increased more than 16 percent and since the personality owns roughly 6 million shares, aka 10 percent of its stock, so earned $12 million as a result.
That's just great -- 'cause Oprah really could use the cash.
In the video, Winfrey reveals that despite being on a diet she eats bread every day — and still lost 26 pounds. She says, "This is the joy for me. I love bread! I love bread. I now just manage it. I have bread every day. That's the genius of this program! I have lost 26 pounds.
She captioned the money-making post, "Eat bread. Lose weight. Whaaatttt? #ComeJoinMe."
She's 26 pounds lighter and $12 million richer -- not a bad Tuesday!
"Invest in the brand!"
