Dubbed "The Promised Land," this majestic property boasts six bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and an impressive array of amenities, including a tennis court, pool, movie theater, and a 6,000-square-foot guest house.

    In addition to her Montecito estate, Winfrey owns properties in Kula, Hawaii, where she has invested over $60 million in land and renovations. Her Maui portfolio includes a farmhouse on one of her earlier land purchases, which underwent significant renovations with the help of designer Ellie Cullman.

    Winfrey's Colorado holdings comprise two separate properties: 66 acres in Mountain Village, purchased for $10.85 million in 2014, and a $14 million home in Telluride, acquired in 2015. The latter is described as a "high-tech mansion" with a glass and steel bridge over the great room.
