MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 10

It pays to be one of Oprah Winfrey's pets! According to an insider, Oprah's pampered pooches stand to inherit a whopping $30million if they happen to outlive their owner.

"Oprah has a menagerie of animals and she wants them to be pampered for the rest of their lives if she were to die first," a friend reveals.

"She has five dogs plus various other pets, so she rewrote her will to include millions for their care."

Although a $30million trust fund may sound extravagant, it's not much more than pocket change to the media mogul. "Oprah's a billionaire so that's not a lot of money if you look at her entire net worth," her friend points out.

If thats what she wants to do with her money fine with me, I've just lost my dog and will give millions to get him back. I love you Fj-snowflake. Mummy Tum

Hi Oprah! Can I be one of your pet? I'll bark and won't pooh on the floor.

I think it's a shame to leave that kind of money to animals when there are so many poor people in mississipi that could use that kind of money. The lord says human life should be put above every living thing on earth. He values uman life above animals. So I think she needs to retink her will.

I think its a wonderful ideal, look at all the millions she gave to the world,and continues to give daily,I say you go girl.

So what she doesnt have children. Id do it too if i had the money. I don't have children and i plan to leave money to my dogs.

It's a crime for someone to be that rich...is she so filthily rich she can give to her animals when there are thousands of people dying from starvation, women facing violence such as Pakistan and the many strifes and troubles of the world. If I were viewers I would boycott Oprah shows until she stops being such as silly B. Grow up Oprah and have babies instead of animals...adopt like Jolie and make a difference in poor people's lives not just talking about it and making millions from other people's misfortunes. Shame on you!!!!

Yes she is great and yes she has provided multiple opportunities 10 times over for people and Yes it is her money however in this instance 30 million for animals is a waste. Its been proven animals thrive on a love and attention but when did they learn the value of a dollar let alone 30 million. Animals are unconditional this is why we have them, they dont love us for what we spend its because we let them sleep on the bed. Be real, when the dogs die who do they leave there estate too or does 30 mill buy them an education so they write their own will leaving it all to the canaries?????

Is this really true?? What a waste. why not give to the HUMANS that are starving in the world.

If she loves animals so much, why doesn't she donate the $ to an animal fund? I'm sure her pets will be looked after anyway if she dies. What about the thousands of animals out there who haven't had any love and attention during their entire lives? Surely there is an American RSPCA equivalant? Its disgusting when people have so much money that they feel comfortable doing something like that... I wouldn't mind a spare $30mil...!

Doesnt she know that her dogs dont know what the **** money is? i rather help the poor than giving to those dogs... there are millions of people out there who need those money to survive... compare to her dogs...
