Oprah Winfrey is said to made $12million in just over an hour on Tuesday all thanks to a Tweet about her love of bread. The
company's shares soared Tuesday after a new commercial starring Winfrey
aired where she says she has lost 26 pounds on Weight Watchers.
Winfrey
posted the ad online Tuesday to her nearly 31million Twitter followers
and shares of New York-based Weight Watchers International Inc rose 21
per cent from $11.49 to $13.44 between 1pm and 3pm during afternoon
trading.
Winfrey
owns just under 6.4million shares of Weight Watchers, and as the shares
of the company rose on Tuesday, so did Winfrey’s wealth, all the way to
$12million, according to Market Watch.
'I
love bread!' Winfrey says in the new commercial. 'That's the genius of
this program. I lost 26 pounds and I have eaten bread every single day.'
