Oprah Winfrey
American media mogul, talk show host, actress, and philanthropist,
Oprah Winfrey, has said that she recently left money in various places
throughout her hotel room to brighten a housekeeper's day.
While speaking with People Magazine, she said: "This made me so
happy recently. People never leave money for the housekeepers in a
hotel (and) I usually just leave the money on the pillow, but this time I
put it all over the room: under the desk, on the counter with the
M&Ms, in the shower. As I was leaving, I was like, 'Somebody is
going to be happy today, yes!'"
Hotel guest etiquette generally dictates that tipping anywhere from
$1-5 per night is sufficient, but it appears as if the 64-year-old
media mogul, may have left behind a few extra bills.
Her generosity should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with her talk show past.
Her famous "favorite things" episode - a yearly Christmas
time tradition that sent studio audiences home with dozens of lux and
lavish items - and the well-known "everybody gets a car!" moment-turned-meme, have long-solidified her as a giving person.
"Nothing makes me happier than to see other people in their purest moments of joy," she said. "Sometimes,
honest to goodness, I'm just sitting around thinking, 'What could I do
to make somebody feel really good today?' To be able to do that for
somebody, that's one of the great joys of my life."
