According to Business Insider, Oprah Winfrey’s work as CEO, Founder, and Chair of the media firm Harpo Productions has boosted her estimated net worth to $3 billion. That vast resource enables assets that include numerous real estate holdings:
- An estate in Montecito, Calif.
- A Chicago duplex
- A home in Antigua, part of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean
- A ski chalet in Telluride, Colo.
It also enabled her to purchase an upscale Maui bungalow on Haleakalā, a 10,023-foot mountain near Hana on the western-facing slopes of Kula, Hawaii.
Winfrey’s property at 1373 Thompson Road is an informal, American country-style home, nestled on the western-facing slopes of the scenic peak. It was profiled at Oprah.com.
The living room is bright and airy, maximizing a set of windows that provide a one-of-a-kind view out and a steady stream of natural light in.
The white cabinetry of the conveniently designed kitchen also exudes a vibe of upscale but casual living that fits appropriately with the beachy geography.
The relaxed, country décor continues into the dining room, which is large enough for a group meal without appearing stuffy or intimidating.
Oprah’s sleeping quarters accommodate an intimate sitting space and access to the outside, always an appreciated architectural asset to living in Hawaii.
Imagine the joy of waking up to this view each morning, without the need to even rise from bed to soak it all in.
Oprah loves art and has curated pieces of various influences, eras and cultures. In her Aloha State property, she displays The Waterboy, a 1946 masterpiece by the famous American painter Thomas Hart Benton. “He’s like someone I knew growing up,” she says of the painting’s plaid-shirted, straw-hatted subject. “I bought him because I loved him.”
