US talk-show host Oprah Winfreyk has famously given away brand new cars to her entire audience, but how many cars does the television personality have herself?
According to the most recent information on the topic, Oprah Winfrey owns at least four cars. The TV host buys, sells, and donates cars somewhat often, making it hard to keep up with her current collection, but the latest intel suggests she owns a relatively modest number of four vehicles.
Let’s take a look at which cars Oprah has been reported to own recently.
Tesla Model S
In 2015, Oprah published three photos of herself on Instagram, proudly test driving and purchasing her new Tesla. She “loves it,” she told fans.
The four-door electric-powered car can reach 60 miles-per-hour in an impressive 2.3 seconds and can drive for 348 miles, before needing to be recharged.
Oprah has frequently spoken out about environmental issues, which is perhaps why she opted for the eco friendly Tesla make, over a gas-powered car.
The luxury car sold at approximately $70,000-$100,000 at the time the star purchased it.
Cadillac Escalade
Oprah has been photographed getting in and out of the back seat of a black Cadillac Escalade several times over the past few years.
In 2014, Oprah was in the vehicle and making her way to a restaurant, when her driver accidentally ran over a woman’s foot.
Concerned Oprah hopped out of the vehicle and offered assistance to the woman, putting her arm around the apparent fan, who seemed more taken aback by her chance encounter with the celebrity.
The star stopped long enough for the fan to get a snap of the two of them together. Check out the picture the unlucky (or perhaps, lucky) fan got, in this video.
Oprah’s four-wheel drive, luxury vehicle is a high-powered SUV, which can reach 60 miles-per-hour in less than six seconds.
A recent model of the Cadillac Escalade sells at around $70,000.
Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe
It’s been reported that Oprah owns the not-so-sporty, Mercedes Benz E-Class Coupe.
Reaching 0-60 miles-per-hour in 7.2 seconds, Oprah perhaps opted for this make and model for comfort, rather than speed.
A recent model of the car sells at around $60,000.
Lincoln Navigator
The Lincoln Navigator is yet another luxury SUV that Oprah is believed to own.
Reaching 0-60 in 5.9 seconds with 450 horsepower, this powerful four wheel drive vehicle is known for its luxury interior and smooth driving.
Recent models start at around $75,000.
1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing
Oprah was the owner of the classic and stylish 1954 Mercedes-Benz with vertically-opening doors, but for unknown reasons decided to sell it some years ago.
The racing-red colored car was owned by the wealthy du Pont family before it made its way into Oprah’s garage. However, she auctioned the car off in 2014, selling it for a whopping $605,000, which is still at the lower estimate of the car’s value.
Does Oprah own any other vehicles?
Oprah may well own other cars. The star likes to keep her personal life fairly private, and it seems she does not like to show off too much about her luxury purchases.
However, it is known that Oprah has owned a private airplane since 1991.
She stated in an interview with Vogue, that an encounter with an obnoxious fan had prompted her to buy a private jet. Oprah said the fan approached her and rudely told the star, “You’re not acting like you do on TV.”
Apparently the fan expected Oprah to be hugging strangers in the airport and generally behaving as she did on her hit show, “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
Oprah, who was simply sitting down and minding her own business in the airport, decided she longer wanted to travel on commercial jets alongside members of the public.
