Montecito, Calif.
Net Worth: $2.4 billion
Rank: 400
The self-made media mogul paid $50 million in 2001 for the 23,000-square-foot Georgian-style home she calls the "Promised Land." Although renovations were underway when she purchased the estate, Oprah simply altered the plans to ensure they matched her style.
