Oprah leaves her dogs $30 mil, gives Stedman $250 mil for split.
Like Leona Helmsley, whose dog Trouble inherited $12 million, billionaire Oprah is planning on bequeathing her dogs a sum that could serve as hefty lottery winnings.
When Oprah kicks,
her dogs are going to get $30 million for their care. Dont ask me how a handful of animals expected to live less than 20 years can go through $30 million, unless they have a team of experts at their disposal daily, as if they would know the difference.
The $30 million Oprah is said to be leaving her dogs is a bargain compared to the $250 million her maybe-boyfriend of 21 years, Stedman Graham, is said to have received as a keep quiet or else severance package.
The
Enquirer reported last month that she paid Stedman the hefty sum to seal their split
Oprah Winfreys romance with Stedman Graham has run its course - and shes handing him a handsome gift of $250 million to seal their split, the Enquirer has learned exclusively.
After 21 years together, the two are still close friends and even vacationed together in Canada recently, but the romance is gone from the relationship and theyve decided to go their separate ways, sources say
Oprah and Stedman, 56, began dating in 1986 and announced their engagement in November 1992. But they never made it to the altar - and Oprah decided to pull the plug on their love affair this summer.

I wonder how much Oprah is leaving to her bff Gail?
While Stedman is set for life, Oprahs pooches better watch out. Leona Helmsleys newly rich dog
Trouble is getting sued by Helmsleys former housekeeper for biting her on several occasions.
I wonder if Oprahs help knows about how much cash shes leaving her dogs and if they feel like dupes for working faithfully for her ass for years and not getting so much as a mention in her will. Dogs are creatures that love you without question, but they can also live quite well off a gardeners salary for a year, while the gardener and his family have to struggle to make ends meet.
Update: Commentors are right that I dont know that Oprahs help arent mentioned in her will. This was an assumption that might not be true.
Those are some lucky dogs.
I always thought Oprah and Stedman would stay together forever. That's too bad.
