Do you believe there will be another woman like Oprah Winfrey who has recently graduated college?

Do you believe it's harder to make it to Oprah's level of fame and success today than it was 20 years ago?  More specifically, I see all these women onYoutube who have thousands of subscribers, but I for some reason wonder if they see themselves on the level of Oprah in 20 or 30 years from now. Are the ones who do Internet shows on the path to celebrity stardom, or are they simply want to be celebrities?Who do you think is the next Oprah like media mogul?  Do you see any young women in their 20s or early 30s who could potentially be the next Oprah, or comparable to her success?  Why do you believe they will be that person? Please provide evidence with your prediction, potential videos, why you believe this person has the drive to be the "next Oprah" or what makes them on the right path. What does it take to be the next Oprah?

While I can't say whether it's harder or not to achieve the same level of fame that Oprah has than it was 20 years ago (I might even go so far as to say it's easier), I would say that I'm pretty sure there are 20 somethings with enough talent and perserverance to be ultra-successful in Hollywood. That being said, I think that someone with the type of all-encompassing celebrity and recognition that Oprah has is extremely rare, as so while some maybe achieve a good level of fame - I'm not so sure they will reach Oprah like proportions.

The only person right now who I think is trying to follow in Oprah's footsteps is Tyra Banks, and although she seems to be having a certain degree of success, I think it's going to be tough for anyone to reach Oprah while she is still in the public spotlight. Once she retires, I think other people will have a better chance of taking ther throne.

I don't think any woman is going to be as big as Oprah (no pun intended). If there ever is one it's not going to be for a long long time.

Good answer! I was looking for more details though on women who might be as big (no pun intended), and perhaps some reasoning why or why not you may think.
