Who Was the Owner of the Mansion and the Sale Details
The previous owner of the complex was television host Oprah Winfrey, who decided to sell the mansion and inn in 2021.
The transaction amount was US$ 14 million, equivalent to about R$ 74.1 million at the current exchange rate, as reported at the time.
According to Business Journal, the responsible realtor stated that the host was very busy and would never actually use the property.
According to the report, the land contains two waterfront lots, including a 678-square-meter mansion and a 274-square-meter inn.

Luxury Integrated with the Natural Landscape
The décor of the property follows a rustic and sophisticated style, with natural materials and spacious leisure areas.
The main living area features a large stone fireplace, as well as a built-in pizza oven designed for social moments.
The entertainment space includes a secluded sauna, Asian garden, private walking trails, a lake, and a natural creek.
The independent inn has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, situated on a cliff with a direct view of the private beach.
Wealth and Professional Trajectory
Oprah Winfrey is considered the richest woman among celebrities in the United States, according to a survey by Forbes released in 2025.
The fortune estimated by the magazine is US$ 3.1 billion, corresponding to approximately R$ 16.4 billion at the current exchange rate.
For years leading The Oprah Winfrey Show, the host built a dominant position in the communications industry.
Even after the show’s conclusion over a decade ago, the businesswoman continues to profit from participation in audiovisual productions and other ventures.
The property sold in 2021 represented only a fraction of her wealth, serving as both a real estate investment and an occasional leisure space.
The decision to sell reinforced the strategy to concentrate assets in more frequently used properties while maintaining diversification of investments throughout her career.
