Weight Watchers had an image problem. Then Oprah Winfrey fixed it—and made a ton of money in the process.
The media mogul and former queen of daytime TV hopped aboard Weight Watchers in 2015, buying a 10% stake in the diet company, with the option to acquire more down the road, as well as taking a seat on its board.
“I believe in the @weightwatchers program so much I decided to invest, join the Board, and partner in #wwfamily evolution,” Winfrey said.
