Stedman Gets Nada
January 10th, 2008
Even I find this hard to believe. But according to a story on MSNBC.com, Oprah’s will does not include her partner of a zillion years, Stedman Graham.
“Fearing that her estimated $2 billion fortune would be squandered in the event of her untimely passing, Oprah Winfrey’s leaving nothing to chance. The talk-show titan recently prepared her will, and according to the National Enquirer, she’s left a significant someone out of it completely. Charities and yet-to-be adopted children stand to benefit the most from the enormous estate, while Stedman Graham, O’s partner for the last 21 years, allegedly won’t see a dime.”
Stedman’s a successful author and motivational speaker, so he probably ain’t hurtin’ for money. But if I had O’s bucks, I’d leave my man a lil’ sump, sump. Even her beloved dogs are allegedly gettin’ some change. Dang.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a pack of chewing gum or a piece of land in the Okefenokee, no one wants to be told what to do with what belongs to them.
Oprah is no exception.
And why should he get anything? They aren’t married. Trust me, there is a REASON Oprah has not married or included him in her will. She just keeps her business out the street like a real woman should.
Thats okay BET You don’t have to post my comments. The truth hurts. I bet you can’t stop me from putting your network on blast @ Youtube or better yet Facebook. Ha Ha Ha, how you like them apples. You see BET what you fail to realize is “Game recognize Game” and I’m one of the brightest programmers in the business. So before you can say Hot Ghetto Mess, I’ll spread your dirt all over the internet like the trash Network you really are. Everbody knows your are not Black Owned but your entire network acts like they are doing African Americans a favor. I think not. Your entire network is a disgrace to the entire African American community including the ones who don’t realize it.
@Big Al…COSIGN!!!!
well oprah if you wont to give your money to your dogs that alright to because i rember you in chicago when you first had your show full figure young lady i no then that you was on your way i told everyone in detroit that were i live that lady is on her way to reach for the sky oprah one black woman to other you go it is so good to one of us make it with out f..k the man GOD KEEP ON BLESSING YOU and gail that your girl THE LADY FROM DETROIT, MICH
Duhhh… Thats why she hasnt married the guy. She doesnt intend to leave him anything. Beside, if Stedman out-lives Oprah, he’ll make enough money doing interviews about “what was life like with Oprah”…Oprah’s a very intelligent lady. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
THANK YOU BIG AL FOR SPREADING THE TRUTH FINALLY! They be deleting my comments too!
I THINK SHE SHOLD DO WHATEVER SHE WANT’S WITH HER MONEY, WHO REALLY KNOW’S THE TRUTH, BUT I PERSONALLY WOULD LEAVE MY MAN A LIL SOMETHING IF THIS WAS SOMEONE I GENUINE LOVED AND IT APPEAR’S TO BE THAT WAY BETWEEN THEM BUT WHO KNOW’S. OFF THAT SUBJECT IF THEY ARE DELETING PEOPLE’S COMMENTS THAT’S REAL FOUL, THE PURPOSE OF THIS WHOLE BLOGGING THING IS TO GIVE YOUR OPINION, ALTHOUGH SOME PEOPLE COMMENT’S ARE OFF THE CHAIN AND OUT OF LINE
It’s HER money! She can do whatever she wants to do and they are NOT married! I’m sure Stedman can take care of himself, like he’s already been doing…
spend you money ladyo how you want give to needy children kids in africa like she is doing already
SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHE WANTS WITH HER MONEY
HI opra I love your strength!! let me know if you want your audience to get information on how to save money on gas and help the enviroment. extralink.ffivideo.com
Oprah doesn’t really like black men. There have only been a handful of men who she even deals with and something positive to say anything about. She got the money, but she cares more for the orphans in Africa than the kids down here. She did a cameo in New Orleans after Katrina and I haven’t seen any contribution monetary or media regarding the murder and poverty in New Orleans.
Oprah do only what’s popular for the caucasians and the uppity blacks. She didn’t put him in the will because I don’t think they have that kind of relationship.
i really don’t blame Ms O. She made her own money, he should make his. Also we don’t know what has gone on or happened in their relationship, maybe there is a reason she’s not leaving him anything…After all she has taken care of him for the last 21 years!
@Sterling…
America or more specifically black America is not Oprah’s responsibility. She can only do so much. Furthermore, she’s been helping black children in America for years. Americans can be so selfish. Everything is me, me, and me. You all have more than enough money so that nobody should go hungry. Why don’t you all go pressure those black athletes and rappers to support the same community from which they came? Oprah has done more than her share. Admit it. Some of you just don’t like to see anyone else get some assistance that isn’t American. That is what your real problem is. Believe or not, there are more needy people all over the world. Americans are actually very lucky. You just don’t appreciate it. I can see why Oprah put so much effort towards helping those South African girls. She couldn’t do enough to please you anyway,so why bother trying.
I think it rather tacky to disclose such personal information it so cold to claim you are commited to someone but don’t financial comment you proably wasn’t significant to stedman anyway the whole time then..
i think it’s so cold and tacky disclosing something of that nature while your still alive and in a relationship with someone if you are commited to someone one male or female you should also be willing to financially comment or else she wasn’t that significant to stedman…
i think is so tacky to disclose that while your alive and very cold of her if she was significant she would put him in her will or she just playing
Man, so what if it is Oprah’s money, it doesn’t mean that folks have to withdraw from their senses, and concept of right and wrong, so as not to judge how she spends that money. How about if I made millions and billions of dollars, only to turn around and purchase drugs, while leaving my family in a neglected state? Folks won’t be hollering about how the money’s mine and how I ought to be able to spend it the way I want to spend it. Oh no, folks will condemn me, and rightfully so.
Now, if Oprah wants to keep her old man out of the will, that is totally up to her, but that doesn’t mean that folks don’t have a right to criticize her judgment on this matter, and just because she has a right to do with her money, whatever she wants to do with her money, doesn’t make what she does with that money-RIGHT!
If she were truly a decent girlfriend/mate, she would leave him a little something. She may be a charitable and giving woman in other areas, but when it comes to relationships, she appears to be out of bounds on this one…
I’m sure that was agreed upon by Stedman himself,he is just a simple & humble kind of guy who is not caught up in Oprah’s empire. I do admire him for his low keyed, out of Oprah’s shadow kind of personality without even trying. He is just who he is and is confident & comfortable with himself without the help of Oprah. It looks like Oprah wants him more than he does her because it’s not about her wealth in their relationship.
There are billionaires you don’t even include their kids in their wills so why should Stedman the Scrub get her money??? lol
I wonder what her best friend G- is getting=as much or more than the dogs–? Stedman, could take care of the dogs–I’m sure that job will pay well.
people need to stop believing everything they read on the internet. unless YOU have PERSONALLY seen a copy of HER will you don’t know WTF she’s gonna do with her $$$.
AMEN!!
Big Al,your post is so true,I’ve also had a blog I posted suspiciously removed. The powers that be, must in a sneaky way let us know that they are in control. What happened to freedom of speech and expression ya know ?
GOOD LUCK~OPRAH…HATER’Z REP SOMTHING ELSE!! SHE’S MAKING MOEY HALF OR ALL YA’LL NOT!!
Listen, take six months to mind your own business and another six months leaving others alone. This is WORLD PEACE. PEOPLE GIVE THEM SELVES AWAY WITH THEIR FOOLISHNESS. what would you do? W.W.J.D.
oprah you too wicked
