"Ellen DeGeneres is a woman who can make things happen," Winfrey says. "When she decided she wanted to be on the cover of O, she pulled out all the stops. It worked – for only the second time in O history, I'm sharing the cover with a woman I adore.

"When Ellen arrived at the photo shoot for our cover, I didn't have to ask her how she was doing: it showed on her face," she continues. "She radiated the kind of peace and satisfaction that comes only when you're living at your highest potential."
Winfrey first shared the cover with First Lady Michelle Obama for on the April 2009 issue
Winfrey is the only star who qualified for our ranking of the Top 50 most generous philanthropists. She's also the first African American philanthropist to land on the list, contributing $175 million to educational initiatives at home and abroad. And with her Angel Network – in which 100% of audience donations go to nonprofits – she's inspiring her fans to follow in her charitable footsteps.
