Sister, sister! How amazing would it be to find out Oprah Winfrey was your half-sister? That was the case for Patricia Lofton when she met Oprah in 2010 and was a guest, along with her family, on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011. It was discovered by Lofton that Oprah was her half-sister when Vernita Lee, the mother of now 60-year-old Winfrey, gave an interview discussing her three acknowledged children. She admits it took her several years to get in touch with Oprah and that she was fearful of going public because didn’t want to “sell out” her famous sibling, who is worth an estimated $2.9 Billion.
The multimedia mogul is giving Lofton a monthly allowance so she can quit her job to go back to college and realize her dream of becoming a social worker. The media titan also bought her long lost sister a four bedroom home in Wisconsin, estimated at half a million dollars. Oprah never ceases to amaze us with her acts of generosity.
