Billionaire talk show host Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Productions reportedly received a $1 million payment from Kamala Harris during her presidential campaign. This payment, made on October 15, highlights the significant funds directed toward celebrities by Democrats during political campaigns.
The television host, who spoke on behalf of the Harris campaign, is believed to be worth around $3 billion.
Harris’s campaign, which raised over $1 billion, fell woefully short against President-elect Donald Trump, losing both the popular vote and the Electoral College. Lindy Li, a member of the Democratic National Committee’s National Finance Committee, has expressed concerns about the campaign’s financial management. She referred to the situation as “an epic disaster,” saying, “They’re $20 million or $18 million in debt. It’s incredible, and I raised millions of that. I have friends I have to be accountable to and explain what happened because I told them it was a margin-of-error race.”
Harris is also said to have wasted a six-figure sum building an amateurish set for her appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, where the Vice President revealed she did not have any biological children because she did not want to be “humble.”
These revelations come amid broader conversations about campaign spending and financial accountability in political races, particularly the effectiveness of relying on rich celebrities to influence voters.
