O ..., whaddaya know! Oprah Winfrey is superstitious.
The talk show diva who spoke to Godfrey Mutizwa in an exclusive hour long sit down interview in Africa Prime on CNBC Africa (DStv 410) earlier this evening, revealed that she believes in round numbers.
''I believe in round numbers for everything,'' Oprah Winfrey admitted who visited her Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls where the first class of girls who matriculated had a graduation ceremony this past Saturday. ''You know why? As I was growing up my father wouldn't give me any money unless his money was even.''
''I'd go 'Hey dad I need five dollars.' And he'd go: 'No I can't. The money not even.' So I grew up with this whole 'the money has to be even' thing,'' she said. ''So things have to be round numbers. If I'm on the treadmill and its not a round number I'll stay on it until it does. It's a crazy thing.''
