OWN founder Winfrey is more than a go-to host; she’s also a hands-on executive at the network and Harpo Studios. Under her guidance, OWN’s programing slate has added even more scripted series and two TV movies: Darlene Love biopic “My Name is Love” and “Tulsa,” based on the little-known Tulsa Race Riots. Her passion for teaching fueled the growth of online e-courses that give viewers a chance to dig deeper into subjects seen on OWN.

This year Winfrey partnered with Starbucks to create Oprah Chai tea; all of her proceeds from the tea support youth education causes.
