Oprah's company Harpo, Inc. made $345 million just last year, and a study by Unvirsity of Maryland economists found that her endorsement of Barack Obama netted him 1 million votes. The daytime diva also has made her mark with a O magazine and an online stor, giving her a definite edge over her competitors and boosting her up from the #6 spot she occupied in last year's list.
