Oprah Winfrey made $12 million from one tweet about bread

Oprah Winfrey just made more news, saying she lost 26 pounds on her Weight Watchers diet. Even better, her wallet got a lot fatter. According to Market Watch, Winfrey racked in a whopping $12 million for merely writing about how she was able to lose weight and still eat bread.

"I lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day," she said in her testimonial clip.
An hour after O sent her story into the Twitterverse, Weight Watchers shares climbed slightly over $2 a share, and since Winfrey owns roughly 6 million shares, the surge in share prices made the celeb $12 million just like that.

Oprah as a board member and large share owner of the company. She's made a fortune since her October investment. Using a price of $13 a share from Tuesday afternoon, that means she's made $61 million on her total investment.

On a per-pound basis, that's $2.36 million of profits gained for each pound lost.

She has the best of both worlds: getting richer while getting slimmer.

Oprah's October investment came at a price of $6.79 per share. She bought about 6.36 million shares, which cost her $43.2 million.

She was also granted 3.51 million options to buy shares at that same $6.79 price. Combining shares and options, her total stake is worth almost 10 million shares — 9.88 million shares to be more specific. The stock has practically doubled in that time, even including the rapid decline in the past several weeks.

The mother of Wizkid's second son speaks with TheShadeRoom, says he's a deadbeat so far!

LIB exclusively broke the news that Wizkid had welcomed his second child with a lady based in the US named Binta Diamond Diallo...a Guinean. She's finally spoken about the child, born last week Friday and says so far, Wizkid has been a deadbeat..i.e absent! Below is the report from US gossip site, TheShadeRoom

"Yesterday, we spoke to Binta Diamond Diallo, who is the mother of Wizkid’s new child who was born last Friday. She named her son, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, Jr. after the rapper in part so that he doesn’t try it with her like he did with the mother of his first child! Don’t know what I’m talking about? Get into this tea!

The creep squad on Love and Hip Hop would be proud. Back in August 2011, Nigerian Entertainment Today reported that Wizkid fathered a child with undergraduate student, Oluwanishola Ogudugu. He vehemently denied the claims and later that year in an interview with The Punch, he insisted that he was not a father. He told host, Nonye Ben-Nwankkwo, “It was rumoured that I had a love child. Even if I had a child, I don’t think it is something I should be ashamed of. Instead, I would come out plainly and declare that I am a father. Everybody makes mistakes. But it was just a false rumour. I don’t have a child anywhere.”

Months later in 2013, he posted a picture of himself with his son, Boluwatife Balogun, with the caption: “hey, the child’s mine guys, I’m done hiding him [from] you all.” You ain’t gotta lie, Craig!

Anyway, fast forward to the following year, Wizkid began dating Binta which would continue off and on for 2 years. She told us that when she learned that she was pregnant in 2015, the rapper said that he was going to embrace being a dad this time around and that he’d certainly care for the child.

However, he kept the child a secret from fans again! Not only has he not seen his son yet, but he hasn’t shown much interest in being a father and Binta wants that to change! Binta says that she just wants him to step up and be a man about his responsibilities.

Femi Kuti's reply to fan, "teacher, tech me nonsense".

Ronaldo's sister blasts Messi's fans for defacing his statue after ballon d'or snub, "Send them to Syria"

Cristiano Ronaldo's sister has blasted supposed fans of Lionel Messi who defaced the superstar's statue in his hometown, Madeiram after the 30year old lost to Lionel Messi in the Ballon d'or award showpiece on Monday. The statue was erected in Madeira's capital city, Funchal, in 2014 in honour of Ronaldo's achievements.

His sister, Katia Aveiro, expressed her anger after fans painted Messi's name and number on Ronaldo's statue. She felt they aren't grateful the player's success and fame has put the island on the world map even going a step too far by saying the fans deserve to live in ISIS war torn Syria.

She posted on twitter.

'You all know I'm this man's sister, and above all how much proud I am to be so, and to know the wonderful and fighting person he is' 'I find the act in itself a disgrace but what I find more shameful is the envy that surrounds him and the anger that some unloved and frustrated pig-headed people display in public in a disgraceful way which leaves me embarrassed and sad as a Portuguese person. 'The people that are responsible for this and other negative things directed towards this person should know that our island was recently voted the world's leading island destination not just for the beautiful sea that surrounds us, nor for the marvellous gastronomy we also have nor the warm Madeiran welcome. 'It was in part thanks to this great Madeiran figure that honours his origins and from time to time emphasises it in public. 'Most of us should thank and salute to this man, it's thanks to him that a lot of Madeirenses still have their jobs. 'My beautiful island, regrettably, is still inhabited by some frustrated savages who deserve to live in Syria, between people that show no respect and hold no value for life in society. 'I apologise for the ones who live the sadness of war, but I believe some people don't belong on the land they live in.'
