Howard Stern Slams Oprah for Insta Posts Parading Wealth: 'Mind-Blowing'

H oward Stern criticized Oprah Winfrey on Monday for making Instagram posts that unabashedly show off her wealth and lavish lifestyle.
The controversial radio personality bashed the daytime TV queen on his eponymous The Howard Stern Show .
"Oprah's not embarrassed by her wealth at all," Stern said. "She loves showing it off on Instagram. It's...mind-blowing. When you follow her on Instagram, you see her estates, her gardens, the people who service her and you know—"
"Service her? She's not a car," Stern's co-host Robin Quivers interjected.
"Well, she kind of is," Stern replied. "She's got servants and like, people cooking, and it's...wild. She knows how to be rich. But she doesn't—she kind of likes to show it off, which is something I'm not comfortable with. I don't think that people should show off their wealth."
Quivers challenged Stern on that point, saying that the famed television host was only providing followers a window into her life.
"Well, you gotta be a little self-aware and know that there are people struggling out there, Robin," Stern replied. "You got to. You gotta kind of think about people who don't have—to eat. You know what I'm saying? I mean, come on. You gotta be a little bit aware of this."

I'm not an Oprah fan, nor that much of a Howard Stern fan, but given we live in a society that celebrates excess, I dont think an attack on Oprah on this basis makes that much sense.
Maybe she flaunts her wealth, but so do many many other rich people.
