$40 million, well at least that’s how much Oprah spent on her new girls school that opened today.

“I was a poor girl who grew up with my grandmother, like so many of these girls, with no water and electricity,” she said.

She also promised to make the academy the “best school in the world” and to continue her support of the girls so they could attend any university in the world. She added that she’s building a home for herself on the campus so she can be close to the students.

“I love these girls with every part of my being. I didn’t know you could feel this way about other people’s children,” she said.

Nice way to start off the new year Oprah!
