29. And what did you think about Perry buying white Bentleys for Oprah and Gayle?

I happened to be watching Oprah that day and found the story barf-worthy. After complimenting each other for their enormous fortunes (I applaud them for their success), Oprah shared the Bentley story. Talk about conspicuous consumption!

Ok, so Tyler bought Bentleys for Oprah and Gayle. That's nice - really nice. IMO, they should have kept it to themselves, not share it with a world of people who are struggling.

A caveat (always necessary when I quote Oprah): I am not a regular viewer and not a fan.
