You get a car, you get a car — and you get criticized for a lavish lifestyle.
Controversial radio host Howard Stern accused Oprah Winfrey, 68, of “showing off” her wealth on social media.
“Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all,” Stern, 68, said during his radio show on Monday, adding she “loves showing it off” on social media.
“It’s f – – king mind-blowing you when you follow her on Instagram. You see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her and, you know,” he added.
“Service her? She’s not a car,” his co-host Robin Quivers, 70, interjected.
“Well, she kind of is,” Stern rebutted. “She’s got servants and like people cooking and it’s f – – king wild.”
According to Forbes, Winfrey has a net worth of $2.5 billion; a combination of her talk show success, TV shows and brand ambassadorships.
Stern continued saying the famed talk show host “knows” how to be rich and “likes” to show it off.
“Which is something I’m not comfortable with,” he said. “I don’t think that people should show off their wealth.”
Quivers disagreed, arguing she’s just giving fans a peek inside her life using social media.
“Oprah’s just showing you her life. She’s not showing off,” she said, with Stern firing back that she’s lacking self-awareness.
“Well, you gotta be a little self-aware and know that there are people struggling out there, Robin,” he said. “You got to. You gotta kind of think about people who don’t have — to eat. You know what I’m saying? I mean, come on. You gotta be a little bit aware of this.”
