Here’s the tweet that made Oprah Winfrey N2.3 billion

Just like that, Oprah Winfrey will be raking in $12 million (about N2.3 billion) in Weight Watchers stock for posting a tweet about losing weight while still eating bread.

In the multi-million dollar tweet, a 30-second clip the popular American talk show host posted, she shared a message about being able to lose 26 pounds, while still eating bread.

She said: “I lost 26 pounds, and I have eaten bread every single day.”

Oprah is reportedly the largest individual stakeholder in Weight Watchers, and her shares increased by 18 per cent, or around $2.10 per share, within an hour after she tweeted the video that earned the profits, according to Market
